Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the polls were right?

It found this patch was missing:

»support.microsoft.com/kb/953155

Oddly this security vulnerability was not flagged by MS Update, BelArc Advisor or Secunia PSI. It appears it should have been included in the October 2008 patch Tuesday. Downloading and installing the update worked fine.

I doubt if it would find anything on mine other than what I chose not to have but it sounds like an interesting program. I find it's just as easy to make a hop to the updating site(s) and get what's needed a couple of times a week.
For what it is worth I went to WU prior to trying it.

(Top button on the download page?)

Why would it be advertised as such if it is free. I feel they may be leading up to charging for it, or not telling us everything.

It was a questionable fact it did find an update missed. Any one sent this comany an email as yet to ask the question?

Definitely NOT worth the purchase cost of $30. Not when the very same thing can be done for free simply by going to microsoft update.
Plus, there is a well known freeware product that does the same.
Purchase cost? I think you better look again the posted tool (Windows Vulnerability Scanner) is free the one that cost $30 is (Protector Plus 2008 antivirus software).

I agree it may not be worth $30 dollars as a SOHO user, but for a business model, it is worth it.

This tool picked up 1 for me and it was one that has been out for a while, so Belarc/Secunia missed it too?

I visit Microsoft update and it didn't list it, so don't go saying it is quite a worthless a tool as you may think. I think it quite ironic we look at 3rd party vendors to check our Windows/Microsoft updates, because The owner of the O/S doesn't do it properly.

ummmm the other software is 30 dollars the tool posted is freeware. May want to check again :D

Thanks, this is pretty neat. Does just what it says and it found one important update that apparently MU missed.
Agreed. Except in my case it found one legitimate critical and one non applicable important update.
