Having out of date programs on your
computer can cause security vulnerabilities. Even your Windows
Operating system may be out of date. The Secunia Online
Software Inspector will inspect your operating system and software
for insecure versions and missing security updates. This is not
something that you can do manually, and therefore is a great online
tool to use for free.
Once you have pressed SCAN the
inspection normally takes 5-40 seconds. If you ask for more
details to be inspected then it can take longer, however I have
found it to be very fast compared to other online scanners.
When you have finished scanning you
will be presented with a list of programs on your computer. You
can press on the + sign next to the program to see details and
results from the scan.
Even if your Java, Adobe acrobat
reader, or even your Windows Live Messenger is not up to date
it will tell you.
Simply go to the Homepage.

Press on Start Scanner.
You can now choose
Now press start.
I seriously suggest you bookmark this
website as it is an extremely useful online tools.
