PSI program is a real eyeopener
I have been using this freeware on my home network (3 notebooks and a tower) for the last month, starting with the last Beta release before installing V1.0.0.1 which is the first full release and all I can say is simply this, INSTALL IT NOW!!
I started with about 6 insecure and 2 end of life warnings and with about 30 minutes work I had my main machine patched to 100% and the others took a little less time as I became comfortable using its features.
This program is very user friendly and so far I have not found any problems using it to remove even the most obscure program or patching others up.
Try it and you will probably be surprised at the number of possible weak areas and it also gives you a threat level from 1-5, which helps decide a course of action. Again, it is probably the best download in a very long time and at no cost. Can't beat it.
