Your Good! the advisories included these versions:Software: Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x, Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x I don't understand why anyone would run those versions anyway.

also they will give that warning when there is a known problem with the latest version of a program that has not yet been updated or patched, that may well be the case here. They know there is an issue with the latest version but there is not yet a new patched one out yet so they still let you know that what you have currently can be a security risk. In those cases some people would choose to uninstall and wait others will just stay with what they have till the patched version is released.

Now I am purely baffled. I cannot get into Safe Mode with networking or even plain Safe Mode. The screens with drivers stop right away, and I know that there should be many of them. Then after a message that "we apologize...." I use F8 again, choose, and the same thing. If I do nothing more, it boots into Windows. So, I thought I'd try a system restore. I tried every date this week, even before the MS updates, and could not restore. Sooooo, not going to fool with this much longer. Maybe tomorrow or Monday I'll use my full backup and just restore the whole thing. All I'll need to do after that is the August MS updates. I'm wondering if one of the updates caused this problem as Secunia worked fine as recently as a week ago. Can't understand the inability to do the system restore, either. Nothing else seems amiss, and I just ran complete scans yesterday with Avast, SAntispyware, and Malwarebytes----all came up clean.
