better than nothing.

Thank you Abydos, I have already reported my concerns as requested.Abydos quote:Secunia actually encourages people to report incorrect detections.
The reason for posting my thread was to draw attention so new members or anyone else for that matter would not rely on Secunia 100%. As you so rightly stated, indeed there is nothing perfect in this world.
