Are you using software updater ?

[Vasudev]

No I don't use one. I just follow MajorGeeks for updated SW and this one Phoenix Software Updates

 

[LASER_oneXM]

...yes: Secunia Personal Software Inspector is installed on my systems. Its a quite comfortable way to check (within seconds)
if any updates are available for my programms. But im always downloading and updating my software manually.

 

[AlanOstaszewski]

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

pacman on ArchLinux is even, even, even better because you become only the latest updates because Arch has the newest kernel

 

[gorblimey]

No. Once I've got a build that works, I try to not fix it But most softs come with "programmable" update/grade alerts, so what's the point of having software that only does what is already supplied?

Windows Update Destroyed my Laptop

I updated my Samsung Win 7, 4 Gb, with the latest updates, & my Laptop got hung. Had to shut it down. On restart, gives the option F2 for Set Up, & F4 for Recovery. But pressing either, it says WAIT, which goes on forever. {Ive waited 7 days now!!}
If I call a Techie, he will install a pirated windows, & I will lose my registered Version.
Any Advice???

{I use File Hippo & Majorgeeks updaters on my 2 comps)

I update manually. I see no reason to use SUMo or other updater.

I used Secunia PSI for many years. It felt somehow buggy since the takeover from the other company. So since I trimmed down my computer apps I only use Ninite Updater webpage that I religiously check every morning.
I may try Patch My Computer Updater like some of you, as since the CCleaner bungle I disabled all my apps auto update and it is probably better be safe...
Though I do check manually I'm not as quick on the mark as I used to be.

 

[brambedkar59]

I voted NO. I prefer manually updating.

 

[Overkill]

I use filehippo on some and some I update manually

 

[ng4ever]

Then why do people let their anti-malware/virus scanner update by itself ? Or do you all do that manually too ?

You can do that with SUMo. It isn't an auto-updater. It simply list what softwares need updating, and you can update them manually.
