Keeping software up to date is an important part of staying safe online. It prevents problems from being exploited and may offer new features and improvements. The Secunia Personal Software Inspector is a very helpful tool for making this checking as quick and easy as possible.

Once downloaded the Inspector searches for the software installed on the computer and then warns of any that are out of date and need upgrading.

The blue arrow next to the software appears if there is a direct link to an update known to Secunia and the green icon shows that more information is available.

This v1.5 is a major release and contains a number of new features including secure web browsing, improved program monitoring, reduced memory usage and much more.
