    10-15-2009

    Duration of ownership: 6 Months

    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.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: Attempts to stay abreast of ALL software updates. Does a good job.

    Weaknesses: A recent scan continued to tell me that a version of Adobe software was not current, when it was.

    Overall Evaluation: ZD Net has a similar program and found 3 additional outdated programs.....I will use the program regularly along with others that identify outdated programs/software. Definitely use it.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: Simple to use, bulletproof, identified several legitimate security issues. Program also points you in the right direction for fixing the threat.

    Weaknesses: Sometimes too thorough. Can identify items that are not really a threat so the user has to do research on them.

    Overall Evaluation: This is a very useful program and one that I keep on all the time. You do have to know when you're getting a false threat indicator, but overall it identifies real threats and indicates how to fix them.
