I used to use Secunia psi a while back, but now I update my software manually.

I use SUMO to check for updated programs but I like to download and install manually from authors page and Sumo is perfect for this.

I see lots of you complain about SUMO and bundled software, every KC program has 3 versions: regular (with Relevant knowledge included), lite and portable (zip) which don't have anything bundled. Download portable and you are good to go, no additional software, no installation.
BTW. KC has disclaimer on his page explaining different download options.

I tried few other but don't like when they try to install services, run on boot and stuff like that.

Same thing here, i want to be able to check programs for updates without opening every single program, and at the same time i want to update manually so i can inform myself about what is that update what is fixed what new features there are etc.

All respect to KC for being honest and up-front about download options , as I mentioned earlier .
It is a valid and respectable business model and probably only those that are " click-happy " will get the additional stuff.

I feel the same as you about apps that want to run as services ..... no thank you .
If it is something that I really want then I'll change the service from " Auto " to "manual " , or even "disabled ".
Autoruns from sysinternals easily takes care of all the " run on boot " stuff for me

You can make it autostart a single process at bootup and check your software for updates automatically, then open it when the scan is ready and see if there are updates, and close it. That's it, process gone. If you use Advanced System Care you can make it start delayed so it doesn't affect your bootup speed.
