    I need a free program
    « on: January 25, 2011, 09:58:40 PM »
    I need a free program/software that tells you what programs or drivers that I need updated, any ideas? I used one that started with an S but forgot what it was called.

    Secunia PSI is great for notifying you about insecure / out of date / end of life software. I've used it for years. And it's dead free!  :)

      There is no such thing as an "out of date driver". If everything works as it should, do not update drivers. Drivers should only be updated if there is a specific need to do so.
