Software Advisor is a free security program that alerts you when you have outdated and vulnerable software on your PC. After checking your computer for vulnerabilities, Software Advisor helps you download the patches and updates that will protect your computer.
Outdated software leaves your computer (and the personal information you store on it) vulnerable to infiltration and attack by hackers and other malicious persons. Anti-virus software will usually not protect your PC from these attacks. The only solution is to close the security holes by applying patches and updates to your existing software.
Since not every software has its own auto-update mechanism, users need to manually update dozens of programs weekly to ensure their PC security. No one has the time for this tedious task. Software Advisor makes it easy to keep track of security vulnerabilities and to quickly patch them, protecting your computer and data.
Software Advisor scans your computer and compares it to our extensive database of software patches and vulnerability advisories. It then provides you with a comprehensive list of problems found, ranking them from Low Threat to Critical Threat, and providing you with the links to download the patches.
Software Advisor also lets you know when your computer is missing critical security software, and recommends new programs that will improve your PC performance.
Software Advisor is a 100% free security program for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 PC users.
