Sorry to just do a pretty much cut and paste from my news article at sF (http://www.simflight.com/2013/05/05/...-fsuipc-users/), but it's the easiest way to do this... I'm also cross posting it to FSX and FS9, because it affects everyone that uses the tool, regardless of version...

Due to a breach in the security of the GlobalSign certificate used to confirm that FSUIPC is a valid and safe package, the certificate is being revoked. This will require ALL users of the software – whether registered or otherwise and using FSUIPC3 or FSUIPC4 – to need to download and install new versions.
Full details are available by visiting Pete Dowson’s post (http://forum.simflight.com/topic/743...-user-systems/) on his support forum at simFlight. Download links are available at simFlight; (http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66139-updated-modules/), or Schiratti.com; (http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html). For a short time, the following direct links to FSUIPC3 (3.999z2 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...UIPC3999z2.zip) and FSUIPC4 (4.90 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/..._FSUIPC490.zip) at Dropbox are also live.
Please note that this is not a security breach within FSUIPC itself – it is only the security certificate that has been compromised.
If you aren’t sure what FSUIPC is, or whether you have it, full details can be found on the product pages at simMarket (http://secure.simmarket.com/pete-dowson.mhtml) and it can be found within your Flight Simulator 9/modules, Microsoft Flight Simulator X/modules or Prepar3D/modules folder. If you have a file entitled “FSUIPCx.dll” (x is dependant on the FS version) then you need to update, in order for FSUIPC to keep working.

All that's going to happen if you don't upgrade is that FSUIPC will stop working. As it's usually doing something fairly important to be there, however, it's probably worth updating!
Cheers,
