Feature Overview -
The Secunia Software Inspector: - Detects insecure versions of applications installed
- Verifies that all Microsoft patches are applied
- Assists you in updating your system and applications
- Runs through your browser.
- No installation or download is required.
How Does it Work:
The Secunia Software Inspector relies on carefully crafted "Secunia File Signatures" to recognise applications on your system. The detected applications are then matched against our "Secunia Advisory Intelligence" to determine whether an application is up-to-date or not. The results are then used to advise you on how to update to more secure releases of the insecure applications. Microsoft Windows Update is used to determine if your system is missing security updates from Microsoft. The Secunia Software Inspector covers the most common/popular end user applications:
Internet browsers
Internet browser plugins
Instant messaging clients
Email clients
Media players
Operating systems

Please note.
The Secunia Software Inspector does not cover or include information about vulnerabilities not addressed by either a new version or a security patch. For information about unpatched issues in your software, we suggest that you look at our Product Vulnerability Report Pages.
The Secunia Software Inspector works by inspecting version information on your system and therefore it does not take into account if you e.g. applied a workaround to address a vulnerability.
