Hey Jim,
I wonder how useful these tools are, a good use of resources or a waste of time. I appreciate your feedback.

Hi Henri,
If found this tool to be useful initially and it identified several programs with vulnerabilities that I was not aware of. Some I didn't even use any longer so I uninstalled them. I did have a problem with it reporting on a vulnerability in one program that was no longer on my system. I also found that it slowed my PC down on start up a little as it was yet another piece of software that loaded on start up. After a while I found it irritating and uninstalled it. I should install and run it every now and then, however - just to review any new vulnerabilities.
Jim
