1204497 2011-05-29 02:37:00 I've had Secunia on my laptop for a while. It's been good and although I don't always update what it suggests (sometimes you can't if its a no-longer supported programme)its a good reminder. Better than File Hippo Update Checker which I use on another PC. Grimy (3041)

So basically this is an extra layer of bloat? doesn't Windows update do exactly the same thing?

Secunia PSI is not an extra layer of bloat but is an extra layer of security .
Perhaps you don't understand what this program does . True, it brings your attention to any System Files that need updating but it does more than this . It scans your whole system for any known vulnerabilities a hacker could use . This could come from obscure or unpatched software . Secunia then shows you where the problem is and can automatically update them depending on your settings . If for some reason, like in a case of some drivers, Secunia will give you the link to the required website so you can manually download the update . Windows update simply is interested in Microsoft Software .

Suggest you give Secunia PSI a go, the next computer it saves might be yours!!

Never figured I'd win something for not being you, but I guess there's a first time for everything... :rolleyes:
It might be one of those Nigerian prizes.:D
