CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET staff on May 16, 2008

Not only does this impressive program provide extensive details on the software installed on your computer, it gives you direct links to update old and programs that are potentially not secure.

Secunia Personal Software's interface is clean and professional in design. Tabs give easy access to each of the sections, which include a comprehensive scan and three software categories. The scan takes some time and may slow down your system initially, but that isn't something you'll need to do every day and it provides critical information on the software you have loaded on your system. The program rates software in three categories: Insecure, End-of-Life, and Patched. For each item it finds issue with, you'll get the file's directory, version, and known issues. When available, it also has a direct link to the publisher's site to get the latest version of a program. The program also has a very useful Toolbox that gives you quick access to Add/Remove Programs, the listed software's folder, online references, and more. Secunia Personal Software Inspector uses plain, easy-to-understand language for all of its onscreen instructions and explanations. Novices will feel comfortable making changes, but more experienced users also will benefit from this program. In fact, one of our favorite settings involves nothing more than a simple check box. When it's checked, the program doesn't display programs that the publisher deems difficult to patch. One click, and more savvy users can tackle the tougher software issues. With each update or fix, the affected program is removed from the list.

We highly recommend this useful freeware program to keep your software up to date.
