Is the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight security? Do I need to keep my computer virus free?
I see that almost every day Silverlight security trying to install automatic updates. I think I McAfree and I also have System Mechanic and IOLO. Should I allow this update or not? So far, it is not installed and even with the share of Microsoft in the name, I want to be sure. If I leave, what would be the advantages and disadvantages?
Hello
Silverlight isn't a security product. This is the plug-in that provides media rich experiences in web browser in about the same way as Flash Player more widely adopted by Adobe. Silverlight is a Microsoft product - please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/what-is-silverlight/ .
(if you want, make sure get you it via a Web page with a domain microsoft.com and not a pop-up or other site)
Silverlight is optional - it is not an essential part of Windows. However, if you install it before you can use it, then keep it up-to-date so that security issues are addressed.
My personal opinion is that the development of system tools and registry cleaners are useless. I use just common sense and the tools provided with Windows. Of course, you have an up-to-date antivirus program, offering a real-time protection and a single firewall.

You can post the details on how fixed and that caused it?

The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. I just reinstalled my OS on a Dell Latitude D820 using the reinstall OS drive came with my laptop, but I can't install the updates mainly due to failures and Service Windows Installer error messages when you try to use Windows Update.
It was a mistake to install IE8 before SP3. You have to uninstall it and go back to IE6!
It is quite possible that your SP3 download had corrupted. Delete and re-upload the file .exe from this page:It is the name of the file you need:WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3 - x 86 - ENU.exeSize: 316.4 MBValue of SHA1:c81472f7eeea2eca421e116cd4c03e2300ebfde4If you need a utility to determine the value of SHA1, I recommend HashCalc:Once you have confirmed that your installation of SP3 folder is perfect, THEN you can install it (preferably while physically disconnected from the Internet). You will first need to set up a clean boot:If you need the IE8 Setup file, you can download that from this page:Yet once, upgrade to SP3, first of all, THEN to update IE6 to IE8. :-) -

Problem started out of the blue a few days ago. When I go to a page with a PDF file, it says "Plugin is vulnerable..." Click here to start anyway"(paraphrase). When I look in Add-ins, it has the following line about the software Acrobat Reader ' adobe acrobat is known to be vulnerable and needs to be updated to 10.1.4.38» This is the latest version available.
I tried to update, remove from my computer, reinstalling, etc several times. No improvement - I still get the same message.
I have no idea whence 10.1.4.38. But let me put that aside for the moment.
There are actually two ways to upgrade for you.
- Adobe Reader 10.1.6
- Adobe Reader 11.0.2
The easiest way would be, inside Adobe Reader X, use help > check updates get 10.1.6. Does it work?

Download the latest version of Silverlight
Download from the silverlight Web site gives me a version 1.0.0. Im trying to get the latest version to download and patch manually. Any help and advice for the repo would be nice
darksec111,
If you go to the Silverlight page there is a link on the top right of the page "Get Started." Under that is "Install Silverlight" that, when you go to this page, it will assess what version you have and offer an update if necessary. BTW, the current version is Silverlight 3 (3.0.40818.0).Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
