Today Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson were discussing Secunia’s Personal Software inspector
I have tried it out and Wow it is a very handy tool. Its similar to a program I had used in years past called OilChange AKA PitStop its goal is to go thru and check versions of software that are on your computer and Inform you of any outdated updated or end of life statuses .
PCWORLD ” ” ” “The Secunia Personal Software Inspector isn’t perfect, but keeping your computer up-to-date is one of the best ways to stay safe. PSI picks up the same version information you would see if you right-clicked a program file, chose Properties, and then selected the Version tab. But if an app doesn’t report the right version of itself, as happened with my Thunderbird e-mail software, PSI won’t list the proper version either. If you click the name of any listed insecure software, you’ll get handy links to patches or newer software versions. You’ll also receive a link to Secunia’s advisory about why your version isn’t safe, and explanations of the multiple versions of a program you may see listed.
Note:To obtain all this data, the program communicates with Secunia’s servers. According to its privacy statement, the firm stores information about your software for up to 12 months, but it doesn’t collect any personal data beyond version numbers. “
I give this Program a Big THumbs up tryit its free for Personal USE https://psi.secunia.com/
