Question: I suspect that Secunia 2.0 does not do XP w/IE6.0. WTF?

OK. The Collective shames me to remove IE8 from my XPpro machines. Fine.
Yes, I do install FF901 as a 'replacement.' Again, fine. I am getting used to
FF901's new rules/windows............... :)

So I pick a client. Not my test client, but my really grumpy, slowest, oldest, perhaps just barely running XPpro! Works for me! What? This is a test after all.
After all, this is a hobby now!

IE8 gracefully removed itself as best I could read/watch. But, it also mentiones 3 MS KBs that it needs to re-install before it completes its' demise. OK. Do it! IE8 goes away. Client now has IE6 again; and, runs just fine........(sort of)................. :)

Secunia 2.0 is blowing a gasket! It tells me that both the IE Browser AND
XPpro need to be upgraded post haste. OK. Diddle into Secunia 2.0 and find that I need to get/install the VERY same 3 MS KBs that have already been installed previously.
Yes.
Client re-booted a number of times. Secunia 2.0 still grumbles and gives a
93% rating. LOL! ATM, I accept the 93% rating as the best Secunia 2.0 can do.

Yes, I am confused via Secunia 2.0 behavior. No, Greg. W7 is still not an option! LOL! (besides, this old client, I fear, was capable of even trying W7 on its' best day!)

I perceive I have found a Secunia 2.0 wall.
Opinions welcome. This client does have some hdw limitations that I just deal with.
This is just too much fun now!
