Tina, That was a possessive 's ;-) Secunia PSI is a program that scans your computer for patches/updates and will apply them for you if you so desire. It does this by running processes at startup and in the background. Its free so a lot of people use it. It has fallen out of favor with me because of the many erroneous listings it has in regards to updates - especially Windows patches. There is a professional version which is costly.
