Are you using software updater ?

[bribon77]

No, I update programs manually.

I update all myself.

I personally aknowledged that is wiser to wait some time after the update was released in order to avoid a lot of side effects vs be updated and risk a lot if something goes wrong and then you`ll see that the developer hurried up with the update and didn`t properly test it. So, in my opinion, i will be much safer not to be updated instantly than updated with lots of issues.

No, well not exactly. I have tried all software updaters and none contains all software, except SUMo, which is just a notifier.
So I have eventually settled with Softpedia. When the software is updated, I receive an email with a link and I update it manually.

I use FlashGet several times a day to check for updates for around 800 programs, and I'm regularly adding more programs. I also occasionally use Software Update Pro from Glarysoft.

IMO, That is the best way. I subscribe to filehippo too but softpedia is the best.

Are you using software updater ?
Secunia Personal Software Inspector my fav.

 

[HarborFront]

I'm using SUMo to check for updates and then manually update, if any

 

[antreas]

Avast update them automatic for me

 

[Cohen]

Linux package managers such as pacman update practically all of the software on the system through one command. So, I guess I do.

 

[ElectricSheep]

I do mine manually. Used to use Secunia but I dumped it after it kept nagging me about some driver that didn't even exist!

 

[CoherentCrayon]

Patch My PC automatically updates most of my software as some doesn't update automatically. Patch My PC doesn't support all of my software, so Glary Utilities also checks for remaining updates

 

[FrFc1908]

Yes ; patchmypc , kc software sumo.

 

[BearHug]

I'm using Avast Premier and Iobit Uninstaller. Both have this Feature. So Yes; but not a dedicated software for that!

 

[Lightning_Brian]

I use KC Software called SUMO. @Trickster Glad to see others still use this great product! I scored a premium version of this for free a long time ago.

 

[Exterminator]

Voted "No" as I update manually.

I should note that I do not allow for SUMO to automatically update my software. I tend to manually update the software by visiting the software manufacturer's website and search for the given release, patch, or update that is needed. I believe this is the most secure and 'right' way to update software.

Traditionally, I know how to update all of my software without having to use SUMO. I like to use SUMO to double check that I am not forgetting any piece of software that needs to be updated. I also like to recommend checking for updates on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. This way you know for sure that nothing is out of date.

I've used SUMO for quite some time, I used the zipped portable version which has no PUPs in it. Very pleased with it actually.

yum/dnf is the best since you get even more updates.
