[Solved] Norton Security - Detected Version Incorrect (Version incorrect in EXE)

[OLLI_S]

For Norton Security VulnDetect detects the version 22.23.1.15 and recommends the version 22.23.1.21.
In the Help -> About window of Norton Security you see the version number 22.23.1.21:

So the recommended version is already installed!

The reason is, that the version numbers in the EXE file also show the wrong version numbers:

File name and path:     C:\Program Files\Norton Security\Engine\22.23.1.21\uiStub.exe
Product Name:           Norton Protection Center
Internal Name:          uiStub
Original Filename:      uiStub.exe

File Description:       Norton Security UI Stub
Company:                NortonLifeLock Inc.

File Version String:    22.23.1.15
File Version:           22.23.1.15
Product Version String: 22.23
Product Version:        22.23.0.0

The only way to get the correct version number is the version in the path of the EXE.

By the way: SUMo detects the correct version, but uses an other file:

File name and path:     C:\Program Files (x86)\NortonInstaller\{0C55C096-0F1D-4F28-AAA2-85EF591126E7}\NGC\562C4DD5\22.23.1.21\InstStub.exe
