Secunia offers a Personal Software Inspector (PSI) tool to analyze your computer’s software and provides you with list of software that needs updated. Next time someone asks me to clean up their computer, I am going to run this first to see what needs to be updated.Secunia Quick Facts :
* Secunia is not a secutiry software - it is a great complement to one though
* It relies on metadata of executables and library files to determine versions and does not check for integrity of software files
* It collects all the metadata information to Secunia’s server to be analyzed to determine the applications installed in your system
* Provides a detailed report of missing security related updates
* Installs easy and runs quick too
* Provides a tabbed report with different sets of information - programs no longer supported, programs with all known patches, insecure programs, etc.
* Provides a useful ‘Toolbox’ offering a set of links related to a problem offering to help you determine a problem and how to resolve it quickly.
* You get an option to ignore an application or folder for future scans if you know it is not in Secunia’s database to avoid unnecessary warnings.
* You get have Secunia running actively (I know I won’t) to get alerted as you run and install programs. Some may find this useful.
* Plus, in the Overview tab you could see how your system security is improving over weeks as you use Secunia as well.
* FREE for personal use
* Web version is free for everyone to use.
