secunia-program

According to Security Company Secunia have 98 percent of all Windows computers at least one insecure program installed. These are all possible forms of applications that have security holes and other problems. As a rule, clogging the holes again continuously by the developers, but it is not at all certain that users know that there are free updates.

It is important to ensure that your programs are updated, especially if it’s critical security hole. Cyber Criminals exploit these security holes to get access to computers, spread viruses and Trojans, and so on. It is not the only browser that is important to update. Security holes discovers in most types of software.
Secunia has a free tool called the Personal Software Inspector (PSI). I have written on the PSI before, but now has it updated, I thought is worthwhile to pay attention to it again. The program keeps track of your applications and then checks it against Secunias Security database, to test if the installed version needed updating. In the new version of PSI checks Browser Add-Ins – i.e. additions in the browser.

This is a clearly important part to keep track of. Security hole as found in Appendix for the browser is of course a great danger, because it can open up your computer for attacks from infected websites. With PSI installed, can you search your computer for problems, and you can also allow the program to be resident in the memory, for tell you when new updates coming. (this article did I found at TkJ, thanks Tommy).

I found a list of 300 free programs for virtually all purposes by winAddons, which is a tremendous resource for anyone who wants to find good useful software to install on their computers. Of course, it would be too huge to install any programs, although, anything is possible, but you can certainly find some good programs you can use this.

The list is divided into different categories such as Office, Internet, Security, Networking, Pictures, plus a lot of other categories, and I must say I found at a lot of pearls which I going to try out. A lot of programs in the list do I already use or have tested earlier.

 

In a way, it is a bit unfortunate that we can not use all the programs, but may sometimes try to forward to find the best program for their purpose, and sometimes it may be quite difficult. But a good idea is to search for information on the Internet or on various forums to form an opinion on what other people think.

 
For those of you who want to look at the entire list can do this in winAddons and hope you find any program that you can have good use of! I selected a few programs from a few categories:

Foxit PDF Reader – PDF reader (Office)

Maxthon – Browser (Internet)

Avast Home Free – Antivirus (Security)

JAlbum – create web photo album (Pictures)

TaskSwitchXP – Alt-Tab tool (System Tools)

 This was just a small selection of the list containing 300 free programs to download. winAddons is a site we on Sundream Estate usually visit on a regular basis to keep watch if new programs turns up, just a tip for you who may also want to keep track ..

Via ZtrixQ I have found a list of 300 free programs for virtually all purposes of winAddons which is a tremendous resource for anyone who wants to find good useful software to install on their computers. Of course, it would be a bit MAFF to install any programs, although, anything is possible, but you can certainly find some programs you can use this.

The list is divided into different categories such as Office, Internet, Security, Networking, Pictures, plus a lot of other categories, and I must say I found at a lot of PEARL which I will try to come. A lot of programs in the list I already use or have tested earlier.

In a way, it is a bit unfortunate that we can not use the number of applications any time, but may sometimes try to forward to find the best program for their purpose, and sometimes it may be quite difficult. But a good idea is to search for information on the Internet or on various forums to form an opinion on what other people think.

For those of you who want to look at the entire list can do this in winAddons and hope you find any program that you can have good use of! I selected a few programs from a few categories:

Foxit PDF Reader - PDF reader (Office)

Maxthon – Browser (Internet)

Avast Home Free – Antivirus (Security)

JAlbum – create web photo album (Pictures)

TaskSwitchXP – Alt-Tab tool (System Tools)

This was just a small selection of the list containing 300 free programs to download. winAddons is a site I usually visit on a regular basis to keep watch on new programs emerge, just a tip for you who may also want to keep track.
