Hi sunny,

 

Did you try it after itaylor1 has mentioned it in that post?

[JustDave]

I use Secunia PSI too, running a monthly scan instead of leaving it live all the time. The latest release is pretty darned tight. And usually right on, too. I really like the capability of downloading and installing updates without leaving PSI.

it didnt detect anything for me :)

just downloaded and ran again nothing found, is there any benefit it it running in the background? or do you exit it completely after scanning.

happy thanksgiving

 

Hi Sunny-I use it the same way Dave does-that is,when I can remember :? Don't see any real need for it to run and drain resources.The first time I ran this,my pc was only three months old, and I got six or seven fixes. So if your tight on space,you can actually just install it on need be basis.I just keep the set-up file. It really is only useful depending on the programs that you are running,as many don't have auto updates-(Adobe comes to mind)so let's call it a user to user application-hope that answered your question

I have turned it off to save resources. not getting loads of false microsoft upgrades required this time around so may well keep it and run once a month or so.

Hi sunny

I ran the application from the net the first few times some time ago, - now I have it downloaded to my machine, but only let it run when I say so.

Most resource concious and not as irritating.

It also finds old programs that in reality does not present a danger, and if you like those applications you can just keep them.

Fx. I still have the old regcleaner made by the nice Finnsh fellow (Vioni or something I think it was)

Cheers

it ran ok this time around, about a year ago ran it reported a couple of office and ms updates which were already installed and ran me ragged trying to sort it.

Yes I remember that it showed a bunch of java applications that was obsolete, In reality it was just because they were in a couple of folders and in the registry, - they were updated.

That cost me a couple of anxiety-moments too. :-)
