1.20.17 is the latest one.
Dunno why it's telling you still need it when you already have it. You could try uninstalling and installing it again.. http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php |

In particular, the older viewers are vulnerable to a method of taking control over your account, and a method of obtaining access to files on your computer http://get.secondlife.com is supposed to be the fastest way to make sure you've got the latest version, I think _____________________

Long as you can log in, you are updated. With the LL viewer. There are un-updated third party viewers that will still login. |
