Strengths: Great idea when it works.
Weaknesses: Interface takes forever to load when it works. Last 2 versions will not run at all. False positives. Will sometimes correct when you rescan but not always. Seems poorly written (I am a retired programmer).
Overall Evaluation: Its ok when it works correctly but I use other similar programs that always find different problems. I would never let it load at startup, just use it once a month if you have dialup.

Strengths: Not real sure. Had me uninstall an old Adobe update I still had. Every thing else was good. I guess. Seemed useful. Every time I changed something it was checking me.
Weaknesses: Every time I opened it it says I have to change some scripting buttons for IE. Don't use IE and avoid it at all cost. Even it says IE is unsecure browser. Too complicated for me.
Overall Evaluation: Seemed cool but couldn't deal with the internet option prompt all the time. Couldn't understand the duplicate listings either. Uninstalled it for now.

Duration of ownership: 1 Years
Strengths: None with all the problems
Weaknesses: Several listed below
Overall Evaluation: I was an early adopter of Secunia PCI and this program is still SNL software; Not yet ready for prime-time. I cannot see how this program would of benefit to any user with all the remaining problems with it. Let me detail them: Double entries for the same vulnerable program. PSI cannot handle portable applications. Lists vulnerabilities based upon the full version. A program Install executable is listed as vulnerable and installed program. Deleted executables, like portable applications or deleted installation programs, located in the Recycle Bin listed as installed and vulnerable programs. Really?! Why is PSI scanning the Recycle Bin? You cannot tell PSI not to scan a folder containing portable applications or other applications it cannot handle due to limited programming foresight on the part of Secunia. Instead you have to create ignore rules for each and every program. I get better results from FileHippoâs update scanner than Secuniaâs. Avoid PSI until a finished product is actually released.

Strengths: It makes sure my programs are all fully up to date, and warns of potential security holes.
Weaknesses: Not always easy to discern how to resolve the problems it finds, but with patience (and perhaps the help of a techie friend) everything can be resolved.
Overall Evaluation: Great product. Perhaps the most important security program you can have on your PC. Much of mal-ware these days comes by way of a browser or other exploit. Exploits that have often been patched. Keeping your programs updated can help stop even new mal-ware that your AV program does not have a signature for yet. It can be tough to keep yourself updated with all the patches. This program helps immensely with that task. I don't leave it running all the time (although I could), but I am sure to run it every few weeks.
