Secunia not doing much auto updating

[pctech]

I have auto updates turned on but turned on the PC this morning and got a nice bubble message saying the system score when was down to 90%, opening the program directed me to Microsoft Update and also told me flash was again insecure.

When does it do the updates itself?

[Simon]

I've had it flag Flash as not being updated, but after a reboot it seemed to recognise that it had been updated.

Just wondered when it does it because I did install it so it would do it so I didn't have to.

[Simon]

I haven't had it that long, but I had a Flash update today, that I manually installed.  Not sure how long it would have taken if I'd left Secunia to it.  I think this is one of those things that you can pay too much attention to.  Why not just leave it to it's own devices for a day or two and see what happens?

[pctech]

I would have if it wasn't for the large message.

I'll admit am a bit over paranoid security wise because I do all my banking etc on this PC as you probably do on yours too.

[Simon]

I do, but I've learned to trust my security software without constantly scrutinising it.

[pctech]

indeed.
