The Secunia PSI is the FREE security tool that is designed with the sole purpose of helping you secure your computer from software vulnerabilities. Software vulnerabilities affect all applications installed on your computer, from the Operating System down to your email client, office application, instant messaging, and so on.
Secunia is the world-leading provider of vulnerability intelligence. Secunia collects, evaluates, verifies, and analyses security information from public mailing lists, security and vendor websites, coordinated vulnerability reports, and internal research.
To help you secure your computer from software vulnerabilities, Secunia PSI will scan your computer for installed software and determine if any applications lack security updates.
484,031 users have already installed the Secunia PSI and 41,515,416 user applications are currently monitored.
New Features in version 1.5.0.0:
- New Feature: Secure Browsing – Secure Browsing is without a doubt one of the most important aspects of online security. If your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) or its plugins (Adobe Flash Player, QuickTime, Sun Java, etc.) contain vulnerabilities, then you’re exposed to security threats every single time you visit a website. The Secunia PSI can assist you to ensure that your browsing experience is safe and secure.
- New Feature: Secunia PSI WorldMap – Benchmark your score against other users from your own continent, country, and region, and see how users from different countries are installing security patches, etc.
- “Program Monitoring” on 64-bit Systems – The Secunia PSI now includes a 64-bit driver capable of detecting removal and installation of new programs on 64-bit systems.
- Easy Access to Detected Program Changes – The “tray-balloon” that pops up stating if new programs have been discovered allows quick access to the changes. Simply clicking the balloon will automatically take you to the changed entry in the Secunia PSI interface.
- Improved Program Monitoring – The automatic monitoring of program installations and updates, along with removal of programs have been improved, thus providing a more responsive detection of changes.
- Prompt Before Automatic Launch of Internet Explorer – The Secunia PSI now prompts before opening links that require Internet Explorer, thus ignoring the default browser on a system. For example “Microsoft Update” and installing the Adobe Flash plugin for Internet Explorer.
- Automatic Full Rescan on Upgrade – The Secunia PSI will automatically start a new full-scan when you upgrade your Secunia PSI installation. This is to ensure that your results are up-to-date and that you can fully enjoy new features offered by the latest Secunia PSI.
- Added Status Indicator – A status indicator has been added to the bottom of the Secunia PSI it informs you about what the Secunia PSI is currently doing, along with general recommendations for improved usage of your Secunia PSI.
- Detection of Known Restore/Backup Folders – The Secunia PSI can detect several known restore and backup (e.g. “Windows.old”, “i386″, etc.) folders on your PC. Furthermore, offering you to quickly create Ignore Rules for these, if insecure programs are found in these folders. Naturally, it is still a delicate decision between ignoring a detected security issue in such folders and when to actually resolve them.
