Running old, out-dated software can be a big security risk and leave your business vulnerable to attacks and exploits which aren’t always caught with traditional anti-virus or malware detection applications. A lot of software packages automatically check for software updates at start-up and offer you the chance to install the update, however sometimes this can get blocked by software firewalls or it could have been inadvertently switched off.
Without a dedicated tool for checking for software updates, the process can be difficult and time consuming. Luckily there are a few well regarded free tool that can take a lot of the pain out of this task. Note, that no application will be able to keep 100% of all your software packages up to date and software such as Secunia PSI only focuses on software security updates, but using a software update checker will help keep you computer more secure.
