From the Apache web site:- What is the Apache HTTP Server Project? The Apache HTTP Server Project is a collaborative software development effort aimed at creating a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. The project is jointly managed by a group of volunteers located around the world, using the Internet and the Web to communicate, plan, and develop the server and its related documentation. This project is part of the Apache Software Foundation. In addition, hundreds of users have contributed ideas, code, and documentation to the project. This file is intended to briefly describe the history of the Apache HTTP Server and recognize the many contributors. End quote. php is a web page making coding akin to html and css. If your friend has no knowledge of this then perhaps she/he bought the computer second hand and the original owner was into creating web pages.

Just about the same thing happened to me, with Secunia updating MS xml core services (although I didn't get a parser license agreement). Also, the next day, Windows update showed the same xml core services needing to be updated, which it did. So, yes, the program should be fine since, like mikie said, it's from Microsoft. I wouldn't doubt if you checked Windows update in the next day or so, you might see that update waiting, or at least it will be in your update history.

secunia mostly focuses on security related updates I would not expect it to show you that things like belarc had an update or ccleaner etc. For that adobe update I would just go right to the adobe reader program on the pc open the program and hit the update button in the program and let it look for the update. I personally only use the secunia online scan so I can not tell you what the installed version does. Right now there are about a dozen or so of these update scanners that I have seen pop up, I have no idea if they are good or safe or not. I am always very cautious with programs like that and especially one like you encountered that did a scan on your pc with out express consent from you that is sketchy behavior. Just because the wot scores are good is not necessarily an indicator, if the program is very new the website possibly has not been up long enough to have ratings. Secunia is an antivirus company a security company that has been around a long time, that is why I trust the online scanner there. We use and recommend it on the help forums I am on all the time. It is totally up to you what you want to use. By now I think everyone should know that if there are adobe updates do them asap, if there are java updates so them asap, if there are flash updates do them asap, those should be known since we have said over and over some of the worst infections right now are coming through those so keep them updated. You can also subscribe to one of the many help forums that provide all the info on what updates are being issued on what date. Here is the link to the one at LzD, this is a good way to keep up to date. Software Updates or use the calender of updates Calendar of Updates a fabulous resource

When I go to that page, it does not list my system information. So I clicked each additional suggestion. No luck. Specifics are: The Firefox plugin is enabled. Nothing happens when I try to open the Java panel. It won't open. The instructions for clearing the cache do not seem right. When I go to the Edit button, I do not have a + or option to expand. So I could not do that one. I did try to find it through tools - options - advanced - network. It says I have no cache being stored for on or offline (I had just run ccleaner before =- so that cleared the cache, I think). I still selected clear now - but I couldn't tell if anything happened. So all the options either showed no problem =- or I couldn't not execute them. Any pointers would be great. Thanks. Lynn.
