The prior is the welcoming message to the Secunia control console and it describes exactly what the program does. It scans your systems installed programs and finds out which are current and which are not.
Why would you want to do this?
- Out of date programs are often a security risk and attackers can use them as open door ways to your machine.
- Developers typically make their products run more efficiently in later versions
- New features can be added to later versions of software
If you are interested in finding out if your programs are secure head here and download Secunia PSI.
I like Secunia a lot - there's a few others out there that say they do the same thing, but I gotta say that Secunia is one of the best.
