especially with the logfile showing the advantages of openssl 2.33 I cannot really accept this “don’t think about it, it’s all alright” statement from Avast
Its NOT all right !! I don’t think (hope) that Secunia will change the detection rules- at the end the PSI-scanner only scans files found on the computer with the latest available version (if any update is relevant for security reasons, like this one) and openssl 2.3.0 IS NOT SECURE - no more to discuss
May I ask: if you claim, that you use a different openssl-version and fixed the problem otherwise, why do you use the same filenames and version numbers ? and why do you state under Help > About Avast to use “OpenSSL, Copyright the OpenSSL Project” ?? when you claim here in the thread that you have a personal version of SLL software that has no security problems ?
I tried to update the OpenSSL service myself, a download-link is provided by PSI-software and the path could be set to the Avast-OpenSSL-folder but unfortunately its not possible, even after disabling the Avast scanner for 10 minutes and switching of the Avast services it was not possible, its not possible to change the file-ownership to me and let me delete it manually (on one hand that behavior is acceptable from a virus scanner related software)
However, I will wait for a week and see if anything changes, otherwise I will switch my computers to another software from a company that takes it more seriously - security is your business, the behavior and statements from Avast are not acceptable. Obviously your are only interested in un-experienced users that simply like a nice Systray icon and a message “Everything is all right”. As I am satisfied with Avast for some years I have not expected this
