You may have applied all the security updates for the Operating System via Automatic Updates or Windows Updates Website correctly. But, what about the third-party programs installed on your PC? Vulnerabilities in Windows and third-party software are identified and reported by security professionals and vulnerability assessment Websites such as Secunia.
There isn’t a common Website which issues updates for all software products in one roof, which makes patching insecure programs difficult. To identify vulnerabilities in third-party software installed in your computer, use the Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI)
The Secunia PSI is a free security tool designed with the sole purpose of helping you secure your computer against vulnerabilities in programs. The Secunia PSI will detect programs installed on your PC and determine if any of the detected programs require your attention. It also provides direct download links to update old and insecure programs.
Secunia PSI works in Windows XP SP2 and higher, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows 2003 and Windows Vista.
