Security Update for Windows XP

[yjsk2100]

Hello. I have IOBit Security Pro version 1.40 I scanned using the PC Security Analysis and it found 2 security holes. The first one was for the flash player but after reading other threads, this one has been answered and I will wait for the fix in the next update.

 

The other security update is for Windows XP (KB946648). After researching I find this is for Windows Messenger. I do not use WM so I have uninstalled it. I am sure that is why this update comes up but after hitting ignore it won't go away, even after a reboot. Just thought you should know and was wondering if this will also be fixed if one does not have Windows Messenger installed.

 

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

When you uninstalled Windows Messenger did you also go to:

• Control Panel

• Add or Remove Programs

• Add/Remove Windows Components (on the left)

• Use the wizard to uninstall Messenger

 

I have compleely un-installed Windows Messenger from my XP and never get this update message :smile:

Yes, I had already removed Windows Messenger from Add/Remove. I did this when I first got my computer. Somewhere on some forum it said how to uninstall messenger and I followed the instructions. Maybe I didn't get it all. Ever since I updated IOBit from 1.3 to 1.4 this security update appears along with the flash player. I am sure it is okay if it comes up but I needed to ask just to make sure. If I don't have messenger anymore then I don't have a security risk to my knowledge. I would just like it to disappear if possible. And thanks for the quick reply woz of oz.
