MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser problem

Hi Anju,

Thankyou for your reply. However it does not really answer the question I have, perhaps I did not explain very clearly.

As far as Windows 10 is concerned I am up to date. I have checked.

The issue is Secunia PSI the programme I use to keep my programmes up to date flags up that MSXML 4.0 is not up to date but sends me to the MS download page for MSXML 6 which is already installed. Installed when I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1.

It is flagging up, I think, the last update or version of MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser

I have decided to include a couple of links to now closed threads in the Secunia PSI forum that may shed some light on my dilemma:

Secunia

Secunia

I have version 4.30.2100 of the now unsupported MSXML 4.0, this is apparently vulnerable according to info in above threads. The version I should have is 4.30.2117.0 but as I have now upgraded to Windows 10 I am not sure I can download this final version
of MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser to patch any vulnerability.

When I posted this question the other day on the Secunia site, an experienced 'handling contributor' who contributed to the above threads suggested my options were to ignore and live with it or uninstall MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser.

However I checked out a couple of threads on MS Community related to MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser and the advice was not to uninstall. So I do not know what to do about this apparent vulnerability I have ?

I am not very tech savvie and would appreciate further guidance regarding this issue.

Not even sure I am posting this question in the correct place

Regards
