I’ve found a great tool that examines my computer to make sure that it has the latest updates of the most common software packages — not all the updates, but the security updates for the versions I’m runninng.
It’s called Secunia Software Inspector, from the Danish security firm Secunia (www.secunia.com).
Secunia offers three versions of its software inspectors:
* Secunia Software Inspector — scan on-line (free)
* Secunia PSI — download version for personal use (free)
* Secunia Network Software Inspector — the full-featured product.
Quoting Secunia’s FAQ:
# What’s the difference between the Secunia PSI and the Secunia Software Inspector (the online version)?
The Secunia Software Inspector identifies about 40 of the most common applications, while the Secunia PSI can identify over 4,200.
