I am a little sour on Secunia, but I can forgive them. (1) Their installed application is unnecessarily cantankerous;
(2) I managed to use their scanner, not their installed application,and it gave me a false positive. That is, when compared with File Hippo they denied I had an application that I know I have and that File Hippo confirms=false positive; yup all application update sniffers make mistakes. THEY ALL HAVE FALSE POSITIVES WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTION. The gist: I will occasionally scan online with Secunia and use File Hippo as a mainstay.
QUESTION: Is SUMO still considered malware? SUMo - KC Softwares www.kcsoftwares.com/?sumo . SUMo, which stands for Software Update Monitor. Techsupportalerts by Gizmo Ian Richards has passed them as safe. Are you also passing them? ADVISE .
