1

00:00:00,350  -->  00:00:03,890
Because keeping up-to-date
with the latest security patches

2

00:00:03,920  -->  00:00:05,040
or patches at all,

3

00:00:05,530  -->  00:00:07,330
for all your different
types of software

4

00:00:07,360  -->  00:00:10,880
is a huge hassle, we want
to automate it.

5

00:00:11,420  -->  00:00:14,160
Also if we do automate it, it means
we're not going to forget,

6

00:00:14,200  -->  00:00:17,200
and it's more likely those
patches are applied,

7

00:00:17,540  -->  00:00:21,360
and it's more likely that we're going
to be safe from attacks.

8

00:00:22,340  -->  00:00:25,780
There is one main application that
I recommend for doing this,

9

00:00:26,170  -->  00:00:31,170
and that is Secunia Personal
Software Inspector or PSI.

10

00:00:31,530  -->  00:00:33,170
And it's also free.

11

00:00:41,380  -->  00:00:45,380
It's maintained by this company
and they are a security company

12

00:00:46,280  -->  00:00:51,260
and therefore it has a strong focus on
updates where security matters most.

13

00:00:51,870  -->  00:00:56,560
The update data has to be updated
to be useful and

14

00:00:56,580  -->  00:00:58,160
it's maintained by Secunia.

15

00:00:58,980  -->  00:01:01,010
And they do quite a good
job of doing that

16

00:01:01,830  -->  00:01:04,830
but they don't cover
all software,

17

00:01:05,190  -->  00:01:08,200
but they do cover all
of the software

18

00:01:08,240  -->  00:01:10,770
that is important for security.

19

00:01:11,100  -->  00:01:12,979
If you just simply go to the website,
you're going to

20

00:01:12,980  -->  00:01:15,310
have to fill in your
details here,

21

00:01:15,810  -->  00:01:19,490
download, you’ll get
the executable.

22

00:01:19,970  -->  00:01:21,200
If you run this,

23

00:01:23,120  -->  00:01:27,240
select your language, Next,
accept the license.

24

00:01:28,220  -->  00:01:31,730
Now you have the choice of how
you want this to be set.

25

00:01:31,760  -->  00:01:35,620
You can set it to “Update
programs automatically”,

26

00:01:35,930  -->  00:01:39,850
which I recommend for you
when it's all set up,

27

00:01:40,540  -->  00:01:41,690
definitely set it to that.

28

00:01:42,220  -->  00:01:44,180
But for when you
first install it,

29

00:01:44,370  -->  00:01:47,580
I recommend that you set it to
“Download updates automatically”,

30

00:01:47,620  -->  00:01:49,540
and then “Let me choose
whether to update”.

31

00:01:50,500  -->  00:01:53,200
This way you can choose

32

00:01:53,620  -->  00:01:57,370
which software you may not want
to have updated,

33

00:01:57,440  -->  00:01:59,330
because it could be that
you have some software

34

00:01:59,370  -->  00:02:02,320
that you don't want to update it
for different reasons.

35

00:02:02,410  -->  00:02:04,720
You don't want it to start
automatically

36

00:02:04,820  -->  00:02:08,440
updating those applications because
that's exactly what it’ll do

37

00:02:08,920  -->  00:02:09,920
if you set this.

38

00:02:10,320  -->  00:02:12,970
You may even not want it to download
anything at all

39

00:02:13,010  -->  00:02:17,040
but just check to see whether or not
your software is up-to-date,

40

00:02:17,970  -->  00:02:19,170
just for the install.

41

00:02:20,210  -->  00:02:23,580
In fact, I'll check it to this
just for the install.

42

00:02:27,760  -->  00:02:31,000
And then do you want
to launch it? Yes we do.

43

00:02:32,180  -->  00:02:35,790
When you first start the program,
it scans for software

44

00:02:35,950  -->  00:02:38,600
looking for what is installed.

45

00:02:39,280  -->  00:02:41,630
This can take some time,

46

00:02:41,840  -->  00:02:45,180
especially if you've got a lot of
applications, you've got a large hard drive.

47

00:02:45,820  -->  00:02:48,040
You’ll also need a internet
connection,

48

00:02:48,580  -->  00:02:53,060
and it needs to get the latest updates
with that internet connection.

49

00:02:53,530  -->  00:02:56,810
If you don't have a connection,
it may start to grumble,

50

00:02:57,400  -->  00:03:01,380
and if it seems to have hung,
just leave it,

51

00:03:01,880  -->  00:03:05,670
it's probably just scanning to see
what software you've got.

52

00:03:05,770  -->  00:03:07,490
And you’ll find that
this application

53

00:03:08,220  -->  00:03:10,420
can become unresponsive
from time to time,

54

00:03:10,450  -->  00:03:12,690
but if you leave it,
it's usually just

55

00:03:13,300  -->  00:03:15,730
trying to do something
in the background,

56

00:03:16,110  -->  00:03:19,040
scanning your files, etc.

57

00:03:20,560  -->  00:03:24,590
If you look here
we have Settings.

58

00:03:25,030  -->  00:03:26,860
If Detailed view isn't selected,

59

00:03:26,930  -->  00:03:30,750
just check that check box and that
will give you a better view

60

00:03:30,820  -->  00:03:32,800
of what apps need to be updated.

61

00:03:33,260  -->  00:03:37,800
This is the options we had
while we did the install.

62

00:03:38,340  -->  00:03:41,150
Here you can change it
back to Update

63

00:03:42,560  -->  00:03:45,630
automatically, which is recommended.

64

00:03:46,080  -->  00:03:48,310
What you can do, so what
I've done here is,

65

00:03:48,330  -->  00:03:50,480
I've deliberately made
sure that there is

66

00:03:50,890  -->  00:03:52,670
some software that is

67

00:03:53,770  -->  00:03:54,970
out of date.

68

00:03:55,620  -->  00:03:57,120
If I click on here,

69

00:03:58,080  -->  00:04:00,460
right click I can decide

70

00:04:01,090  -->  00:04:03,570
perhaps I want to ignore
updates for this program.

71

00:04:03,600  -->  00:04:06,710
Maybe it’s some software
that if I update it,

72

00:04:06,730  -->  00:04:08,090
I have to

73

00:04:09,060  -->  00:04:11,860
change some code
that I’ve developed.

74

00:04:12,710  -->  00:04:15,470
So you can actually
ignore it and then

75

00:04:15,630  -->  00:04:18,050
choose all the ones that you
actually want to ignore,

76

00:04:18,610  -->  00:04:21,780
and then change it to
Update automatically.

77

00:04:23,650  -->  00:04:25,040
You can show the details,

78

00:04:25,110  -->  00:04:27,220
which doesn't really show
you much more

79

00:04:27,260  -->  00:04:29,120
than what you get from
the detailed view,

80

00:04:29,720  -->  00:04:31,970
which is the installed version.

81

00:04:32,420  -->  00:04:35,090
Plus you get the location
of where the file is.

82

00:04:37,540  -->  00:04:39,620
Very useful, if you go on
More information

83

00:04:39,650  -->  00:04:41,960
it's going to launch
your browser

84

00:04:42,420  -->  00:04:43,920
and it's going to give
you information

85

00:04:44,050  -->  00:04:47,540
about the patch
and the vulnerability.

86

00:04:47,640  -->  00:04:49,640
And you can see here,
highly critical.

87

00:04:50,960  -->  00:04:54,100
So that would be one that you
would probably want to install

88

00:04:54,450  -->  00:04:56,680
because again iTunes is a

89

00:04:57,200  -->  00:05:01,020
application that directly interfaces
with the internet so

90

00:05:01,520  -->  00:05:05,530
it's particularly sensitive
to needing to be updated.

91

00:05:07,090  -->  00:05:10,240
You can look at History
and see what has been

92

00:05:11,490  -->  00:05:14,980
already installed or updated.

93

00:05:16,370  -->  00:05:19,920
If you have a program that you want
to be monitored but it isn't here,

94

00:05:20,340  -->  00:05:23,490
then you can request
from Secunia to

95

00:05:24,030  -->  00:05:27,730
add that, and if you're lucky
they may indeed add it.

96

00:05:29,730  -->  00:05:31,620
You can scan again.

97

00:05:33,730  -->  00:05:38,560
You'll see it'll start to download
the latest definitions

98

00:05:39,480  -->  00:05:42,560
and it will scan your
system again.

99

00:05:43,340  -->  00:05:47,090
And like I said, this can
take a little bit of time

100

00:05:47,450  -->  00:05:48,770
if you've got a large system.

101

00:05:50,100  -->  00:05:52,400
You can see here it gives
you a rating of –

102

00:05:53,860  -->  00:05:56,050
here is 97% for

103

00:05:56,920  -->  00:06:00,420
how up-to-date it believes
my system to be.

104

00:06:03,710  -->  00:06:07,090
And this says “Currently updating”,

105

00:06:07,660  -->  00:06:08,660
so

106

00:06:13,300  -->  00:06:17,580
let's change these settings
to Download.

107

00:06:23,110  -->  00:06:26,900
And you can see here, this is doing
exactly what I mentioned,

108

00:06:27,300  -->  00:06:31,510
in that it starts to pause

109

00:06:31,800  -->  00:06:33,690
and you're not quite sure
what it's doing here,

110

00:06:33,730  -->  00:06:35,580
it's got a little timer, but

111

00:06:35,980  -->  00:06:39,620
what it's doing is it's updating
in the background

112

00:06:39,640  -->  00:06:41,710
and you’ll get
this little timer.

113

00:06:41,730  -->  00:06:44,160
The best thing is just
to leave it,

114

00:06:44,630  -->  00:06:46,160
let it get on with
what it's doing

115

00:06:46,690  -->  00:06:48,500
and then eventually
it will come back

116

00:06:48,610  -->  00:06:50,450
and you'll be able to use
the interface again.

117

00:06:54,189  -->  00:06:58,385
Now, there are alternative
tools and to this one,

118

00:06:58,560  -->  00:06:59,738
to automate patching.

119

00:07:00,538  -->  00:07:02,683
There is something called
Appupdater,

120

00:07:03,520  -->  00:07:05,861
there is FileHippo App Manager,

121

00:07:06,901  -->  00:07:08,232
there's Ninite,

122

00:07:09,352  -->  00:07:11,454
there’s Software Informer Client,

123

00:07:12,785  -->  00:07:15,570
there's Software Update
Monitor or SUMo,

124

00:07:16,225  -->  00:07:19,781
but make sure you get the lite version
of that because the non-lite version

125

00:07:20,196  -->  00:07:23,200
comes with all the adware
and bloatware.

126

00:07:24,970  -->  00:07:27,498
There is Heimdal Free.

127

00:07:27,629  -->  00:07:29,520
Not sure if I'm saying
that correctly.

128

00:07:30,225  -->  00:07:33,425
That comes from a security company,
so that has a security focus

129

00:07:34,000  -->  00:07:36,487
so that's worth a look.

130

00:07:37,432  -->  00:07:41,680
You can also do automated
driver updates

131

00:07:42,370  -->  00:07:44,436
and there's a few pieces
of software that do that.

132

00:07:45,105  -->  00:07:47,956
Dumo is one example.

133

00:07:49,047  -->  00:07:51,803
If you have your machine switched
off any length of time,

134

00:07:52,072  -->  00:07:54,872
or you're disconnected from the internet
for any length of time,

135

00:07:55,120  -->  00:07:58,610
before you start using your browser,
or going on to the internet,

136

00:07:58,780  -->  00:08:00,916
you need to check to see
if you're up to date

137

00:08:01,176  -->  00:08:02,407
with your patches first.

138

00:08:02,785  -->  00:08:04,400
Get your system up to date first,

139

00:08:04,930  -->  00:08:06,756
then use your browser,

140

00:08:06,967  -->  00:08:07,985
then use your internet.

141

00:08:09,825  -->  00:08:11,090
And if we look here,

142

00:08:12,021  -->  00:08:14,429
it's actually conveniently

143

00:08:14,952  -->  00:08:16,610
auto updated it for us

144

00:08:17,090  -->  00:08:19,636
and we're on the latest
version here.

145

00:08:21,920  -->  00:08:22,938
On History,

146

00:08:23,723  -->  00:08:26,160
we can see the update’s
been made,

147

00:08:27,156  -->  00:08:28,858
which is brilliant.

148

00:08:32,829  -->  00:08:34,058
Now we're at 100%.
