Answer» Quote I gather it's a little similar to Filehippo's UDC?Not REALLY. I have Filehippo, too, but it checks only for softwares new updates, not security-wise. It's also, obviously limited to any database Filehippo has.Quote from: Broni on November 10, 2007, 09:44:58 AM QuoteFair point.I gather it's a little similar to Filehippo's UDC?Not really.

Quote It's also, obviously limited to any database Filehippo has.And PSI is also, obviously, limited to any database Secunia has. I gave PSI a whirl, it showed three out of date PROGRAMS . . . two versions of Flash 6 (one from Dreamweaver MX that isn't installed, and one from my other boot, where I don't need to update it) and another - an out of date version of MDAC, also from my other boot. I found it very slow to launch, and also inconvenient to use (no SHORTCUTS were installed). I may try again when it's been developed more, but for now it's disappearing from my PC, like Bigfix.Quote from: Zylstra on November 09, 2007, 05:08:58 PM Honestly, who actually hacks using Java Runtime exploits?

It must the biggest, and most trusted security company. I'm even subscribed to their mailing list: http://secunia.com/mailing_lists/ so, if any new threat comes up, I know about it, the very same moment. Visit their web site, and look around.Quote from: Calum on November 10, 2007, 09:58:27 AM ... an out of date version of MDAC, ...It identified that on my system, too. I updated it but Secunia is still showing the item under Insecure Software. Quote from: Calum on November 10, 2007, 09:58:27 AM I found it very slow to launch, ....Me, too.
