Although your newsletter is by far my favorite, I do read others, and got this tip from Cloudeight Information Avenue. Secunia has introduced a new program called Secunia PSI, for Personal Software Inspector (BETA). After downloading, it will help you access the software you have installed on your computer and check for outdated installations, software that needs to be updated and any bad things that managed to sneak by your security software.

A quote from their website:

The Secunia PSI detects installed software and categorises your software as either Insecure, End-of-Life, or Up-To-Date. Effectively enabling you to focus your attention on software installations where more secure versions are available from the vendors.

Highlights of The Secunia PSI:

• The Secunia PSI will be available free of charge
• Calculates your unique Secunia System Score
• Automatically scans your computer
• Enables you to update Insecure/End-of-Life software
• Provides Direct Download Links to security updates & patches
• Detects and advises on more than 4,200 applications
• Direct correlation between thousands of Secunia Advisories and your specific system and software
• Secure SSL encrypted connection to Secunia

It's still in beta but it worked fine for me and a couple of friends, so I feel safe in recommending it to you. I was more than a little surprised to find just how out of date I was! I hope SecuniaPSI will be of help to you and your readers. Just be aware that the more software you have installed on your computer, the longer it's going to take to get results, so be patient.
