Can't agree with what, Jim? What advice are yu talking about? The
lady cited a specific problem and I offered her step-by-step
instructions in order to address that problem. I didn't advise her to
stop updating her copy of Winamp.
And pray, would you care telling us what security holes this current
version of Winamp deals with that not upgrading would be tantamount
to leaving yourself exposed to all the undesirable elements on the net?
Advice indeed!

In my view What you really need to do is when you see this window is go to
the winamp web page and download the latest version of the program. Install
it. then this window will go away and you will have the latest version of
the program. It is really important to keep programs like winamp up to date
because wholes and bugs are found in these types of programs all the time
that once known could make your system open to attack.
