Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) 1.0 released

Yes The Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) tool is highly recommended for home users.  This FREE product evaluates all major software components on a PC, to ensure they are up-to-date on security patches. While many vendors automatically update their software, most users will almost always have a few updates that are required.  PSI is a beneficial tool to provide a fast and comprehensive evaluation of any needed security patches.

QUOTE: Though the PSI so far has been in beta, it has received a huge amount of praising words like these from ZDNet in a review of 10 essential security tools: “Number one is the Secunia Personal Software Inspector, quite possibly the most useful and important free application you can have running on your Windows machine”.

Version 1.0 of the PSI is somewhat more mature and bug free (as far as we know) compared to the first version, which only ran on XP 32bit. Today, it runs on 2000, XP 32/64bit, and Vista 32/64bit.
