Software UpToDate Finds Updated Versions Of Windows Programs
Tools that scan a Windows operating system for software and check online if this software is outdated always face two problems: quality and magnitude. The quality problem mainly deals with false positives while the magnitude becomes obvious if the software does not recognize installed software programs because they are not integrated in their database yet. Software UpToDate tries to tackle both problems by using the data that is send by the clients (that is computer systems using the software updater) to update their database.
The software updater will perform an initial scan of the installed programs of the operating system and display them in a list afterwards. The software programs in the list can then be scanned for updates by clicking on the UpToDate button at the top. This will open a SSL connection to the server which will return information. These information are divided into programs that are up to date, programs for which an update is available and programs that are either unknown or unsupported.
