I honestly think this is something we need to take very seriously, as most malware and attacks today (targeted, botnets, etc) are focused on the clients, exploiting OS and third-party software vulnerabilities (plus social engineering). Thanks to all the readers for submitting their suggestions! I strongly encourage you to evaluate the best tool that meets your needs. For Linux you are pretty much tied to the software package manager of the distribution you like to use.

Other options are UpdateStar (Windows), SUMo - Software Update Monitor (Windows), VersionTracker ( Mac and Windows), RadarSync (Windows), UDC - UpdateChecker (Windows), Belarc Advisor (Windows), and App Update Widget (Mac). Several readers replied to my request asking for tools used to update third-party software, and the most recommended tool for Windows is Secunia PSI (Personal Software Inspector), still in Release Candidate (RC-1) state, for personal use only (they also have a commercial version). I,also, highly recommend this program.Last week we pointed out multiple vulnerabilities in commonly used client software. LinkScanner scans the web site, before you go there and if it finds something suspicious, prevents you from going there.
Some of you may have already installed similar applications, like Web of Trust, which warns you that the web site you're going to may have malware on them. It's called LinkScanner and, again, it is free. AVG, who makes a free virus software came out with a pro-active scanner that scans web sites in advance, to keep you from web sites that are clean and haven't been hijacked. I didn't have to click on the ad to get the malware. virus software, Spybot S and D, and others. It did this even though I have lots of protection i.e. and you need to buy their program to remove them. I highly recommend this program.Ī few months ago, I was doing a Google search and an applet that had hijacked an ad on the Google search page, grabbed my computer and installed one of those malware programs that tells you, you have viruses, etc. It also checks to see if your Windows updates are up to date. Necessary applications like Flash and Java will update automatically if you tell PSI to do so. It analyzes all your programs, tells you which ones need updating and then has a link to the update. It is light years better than the original. Secunia fixed the problems and released a new version 2.0.

The problem with PSI was that its' interface was confusing and it didn't always download what you asked it to. And, btw, it's a fallacy to think that just because you have a Mac that you don't have to protect yourself. This was particularly important because applications like Flash are notorious for having security holes for hackers and identity thieves. You could run this application and it would examine the applications you've installed, tell you whether they were up to date, and then give you the option of installing the current version of the software. The first is Secunia PSI 2.0 and the second is AVG LinkScanner.Ī couple of years ago Secunia, a software company, came out with a utility called Personal Software Inspector, or PSI. This week I want to mention a couple of other applications that I've installed and work really well to keep your computer safe, secure, and running as fast as it should.
