Defensive Computing: Secunia's Online Software Inspector
October 24, 2008
by Michael Horowitz
Secunia's Online Software Inspector (OSI) is a great free service, one that all Windows users should avail themselves of regularly. OSI is an online scan of a Windows computer (Macs and Linux are not supported) that looks for software with known security flaws. Any computer that gets a clean bill of health from OSI is better defended than one that doesn't.
As I write this, only 7,019 scans have been run in the last 24 hours. More Windows users need to be made aware of the scanner, and I hope this posting does so. That said, OSI isn't perfect.
