Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI)

Safeguard your personal data from cybercriminals

Work, browse, shop, bank, and social network with confidence

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting private PCs (endpoints). Their entry points are vulnerabilities (certain code errors or bugs) in popular third party (non-Microsoft) programs, which are exploited and used as a gateway to compromise PCs and access confidential data such as passwords, online profiles, and bank details. Attacks exploiting vulnerable programs and plug-ins are rarely blocked by traditional anti-virus.

50% of vulnerabilities over the last two years were found in products by 14 well-known third (3rd) party vendors, including Adobe Systems, Apache Software Foundation, Apple, Cisco, Google, and HP*. Therefore your PC could be at risk – now! The only solution to these types of attacks is to apply security updates, or “patches”. Patches are offered free-of-charge by most software vendors; however, finding all of these patches is tedious and time-consuming.

The Secunia PSI, the free security scanning tool for private use, removes the inconvenience from home endpoint security. The Secunia PSI’s unique security scanner automatically scans your PC and alerts you whenever your installed programs and plug-ins require updating. It even patches them for you or, if a patch hasn’t been issued by the vendor, recommends the best course of action.
