Nothing more! Make the data updated and freely available in a big zip and through an api and coders can compete on making the best frontends for accessing that data. I’d like to see a github type repository site that *only* includes these things: a list of program names and unique identifiers and for each name the latest version number and an URL to the official program site, in some fixed xml spec. Software updates in Windows could be much, much better. I’ve tried a few of these software update programs and all of them tried to do too much.
If it does, I'll revisit it and adjust the rating accordingly if justified. To be fair, it is a beta release and there is the chance that the product improves over time. The standalone application on the other hand pales in comparison to existing update checkers such as Sumo. Add to that the ads that it displays and it is not something that you want to run on your system at this point in time. It makes sense for Kaspersky to integrate a software update checker in its security applications. If you want to give it a try, you can download it with a click on this link. There is no ignore list for instance and no option to scan a folder for programs which can be useful if you use portable versions of programs. If you compare it to Sumo or a comparable program, you will notice many missing features. One negative aspect of the software is that you receive notifications on the desktop about Kaspersky products with no option to disable that. You cans witch the scan to manual only to avoid this or change the frequency of scans instead of you prefer that.
The program is set to run a scan each day by default which you can change in the program settings. Do they come from the software company who created the product, from Kasperksy or a third-party site?
