"Badly designed program."
Version: Software Informer 1.1
Pros
Non that I could think of:/
Cons
Resource hog. Requires constant access to harddrive, RAM, CPU, and network(IS provider allowing that is) in order to function, and uses invalid keyloggers to attempt to match software to available updates, from sites that are often unreliable. Main problem, adds exception to firewall and antivirus in order to function, then downloads viruses in place of/attatched to unreliable updates from unvarified sites thus causing considerable damage to the operating system and, at times, the BIOS which in some cases have made repair impossible.
Summary
Do not download this software in any hope that it will, at any point, work effectively. It should be immediatley removed from DownLoad.cnet.com.

"Seems to be going the right way"
Version: Software Informer 1.1
Pros
Fixed the majority of false updates (most seem to be human-moderated now, with working links). Light footprint.
Cons
Lacks a bit of customisation.
Summary
Does seem to be offering correct updates now (finally). Quite useful even.

"Great idea, but doesn't work well"
Version: Software Informer 1.1
Pros
It's free and if you like frustration, you'll like this.
Cons
Reliability of scans and subsequent update information is fairly terrible.
Summary
Sent me on several "wild goose chases" - very frustrating. In one instance it said I had an Intel driver in need of updating & when I went to Intel, they said that driver is incompatible with my machine. I then checked with Toshiba (my laptops brand) and their website did not offer that driver for my model either. Therefore: inaccurate scans & update info = a complete waste of time.

Version: Software Informer 1.1
Pros
Diz-nos algumas coisas certas
Cons
Não encontra a maioria das drivers com a actualização certa e manda-nos para a procura da Google
Summary
Pode usar mas a ajuda não vai ser muita.
-
"BAD - like treading in quicksand"
Version: Software Informer 1.1
Pros

Cons
will install viruses, re-directs, trojans & require expert removal and serious harm to your computer. Best recovery may necessitate a new install
Summary
Don't even waste your time!
