Keeping software patched

One of the biggest security problems with a PC is keeping current with all the software patches. Ordinary home PC users simply cannot keep up with the never-ending flow of updates without help. You can use Microsoft update for Windows, Office, and other Microsoft products but what about all that other software that we all have? I have posted about Secunia Personal Software Inspector before as well as Update Notifier.

Now here’s a third way to check your patches; it’s Update Checker from File Hippo and was the choice of readers in a recent Lifehacker survey.

All three applications mentioned are freeware.
