C'mon !
PSI is very slow and interface shows screaming errors while displaying threat ratings. Check for yourself ! I have JRE 1.605, that according to their page http://secunia.com/advisories/product/14273/ has 0 unpathched vulnerabilities, however PSI displays all time threat ratings, http://secunia.com/advisories/32991/ . This is stupid, for me it's 3.5/5 stars.

5 star from me
Read about this program in the letters issue 285, as a silver surfer with limited experience I found it did exactly as stated. It identified 5 items of general usage software that needed fixing, and i just followed the guides and went from 95% to 100% in about 15 mins.

PSI maybe more hazardous than helpful
I'm afraid that I have to agree - PSI is slow and error prone. Their "threat rating" it is especially bogus. PSI is not alone in incorrectly identifying threatening programs. I have yet to find any general-purpose utility correctly identify a threatening program. The only purpose this useless function ("threat rating") can serve is to slow down the execution of the program. As I have stated, PSI's execution of its primary function is slow enough already.
