I am having problems with running these programs on one of my machines - xp pro, sp3,

I have running on other machines with no problems.

So heres the problems.

Secunia -

2.0.0.4003 AND 2.0.0.3003 both install and run ok, but when I scan it goes to through to the 2nd last option and says "scan aborted" before it completes.

I have checked some posts online with the same problems, and it it says to revert back to 1.0.5.2, but when I do that it gives me a DEP error and does not run.

File Hippo update checker gives me this error...

FileHippo.com Update Checker has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Anyone know how to fix these ? Thank you....

Sorry and that is Secunia PSI.....

Have you scanned for malware?

I have had similar problems with Secunia in the past. The solution was to totally uninstall PSI. Then totally uninstall FlashPlayer using the Adobe FlashPlayer Uninstaller. Then re-install the latest version of the FlashPlayer from here. Then reinstall PSI and see what happens.

I have not used File Hippo, but I would try something similar if PSI works.

All the above assumes your system is free of malware and working fine otherwise.

Malware ..... no I havent completed any scans....next job...

Tried your suggestion. Still getting "Alert. Scan aborted" at Matching data with Secunia File Signatures engine stage in both of the latest versions I have in PSI, BUT I can get the 1.5 to run OK now though.

File hippo, no change though - I get

"FileHippo.com Update Checker has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

I will run malware checks and report back...

No Malware... according to avast and malwarebytes.

I am not finding anything. I might suggest you ask on the Secunia forums for 2.0. I saw where it does say Secunia needs IE to connect. Is that current?

Im on xp, and its is version 8.0.6001.18702. Yes, Ive tried whatever I could google of course, before coming here....well i will try there, thanks...

Please keep us posted - we all might learn something. And I will keep looking too.

wondering what happened to him now. Hope he come and share updates for everyone's learning.

I have decided to "be happy" with version 1.5 of Secunia :-)

File hippo ? I still haven't found and answer, but there seems to be a number of "other programs" that seem to do a similar job. File hippo was recommended to me here, and I have it working on other machines, so it would be nice to get it working on this machine. I havent tried any other at this time.
