Hello! I am depending on Kerish Doctor to cover the point of Software updates but I just wonder how effective is Kaspersky Software Updater? How large is their database? Thank you in advance!
Any thoughts on Kaspersky Software Updater?

In most cases it's useless. I do update manually all of my softwares before kaspersky software updater notifies me about updates. Recently started using patchmypc & thinking about sumo(portable) or kerish doctor. If you are happy with kerish doctor then don't bother about Kaspersky Software Updater. Their databases of vulnerable softwares are great but their updater ain't that good.

That's exactly what I thought! Kerish is good enough and I do update my software manually. Thanks for pointing this out.

I find it useful for updating things like ccleaner, VLC player, 7-zip, Firefox and Opera. I'm not sure it does very much else on my own PC, but its a useful option to have due to its automation. It wouldn't be as good as a dedicated application though, so i will have a look at kerish Doctor and Filehippo out of curiousity.
I have renewed my Kerish License a month ago. Unfortunately, a sale is going right now (buy 1 year get another for free). I missed the deal
Never heard about it before. I'll google it and see.
Never had any issues with KIS software updater but I think its database is limited to a great extent.
What do you mean by heavy and slow?
I update my programs manually most of the time. But I find Kerish handy.

Hi
I like it, but lately, I've discovered Patch my Pc and I find it more enjoyable to use. One option I really like about Patch my Pc is to select the programs you want to update and those you don't. I explain, I have WiseCare Pro, so if I update it, I lose my license, so I have it selected so I never update. ah! and it´s free

In my system almost 20 seconds to execute and run,high cpu usage, some times froze.(2-3 times)
Never had similar issues! This is weird! Have you tried to contact support regarding the issue?

No need, actually i didn't like it so far, i prefer Patch My Pc.
I do it manually, getting the files from the developer safer than getting the files from third-parties.

It's only really useful for big name software such as iTunes from my experience. Even then, it won't tell you there is an update until quite a few days after the release. As a free utility it's ok, but there are much better paid and also much better free.

Kaspersky Free Automatic Updater is very slow to update like in 24 hours & no update. I just update manually & its no real Wuff.
