Hb_Kai Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I was looking for something like this earlier today. :)Where it says "final"... Is this the final release or proper release after beta versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 This software has been in beta for quite a long time, and this is the final release (non-beta) of the product. I know "final" is confusing, especially when in this case it is actually the first general release.For more information and background on the long beta test, here is the newsletter that was sent to all beta testersSubject: [secunia PSI] Secunia PSI 1.0 makes patching insecure programs easy for allIt has been an exciting journey since the early beginning with the firstbeta of the Secunia PSI back in 2007. We have received thousands andthousands of feedback emails with praising words and suggestions for theSecunia PSI - and with this letter we would like to thank all who havehelped us evolve and develop the Secunia PSI.Today, version 1.0 has been released and we can look back at a developmenthistory with more than 750.000 Beta users, who provided Secunia withextensive and invaluable feedback - ensuring the final product to be asgood as possible!Back in 2007, the idea with the Secunia PSI was basically to: * Make it possible for all PC users to secure the programs on their PCs * Raise awareness about the need for patching insecure programs * Provide the users a single point with all relevant security informationand patches * Provide Enterprise grade vulnerability scanning to private usersWith 7 releases of the Secunia PSI, a staggering user-base of more than750.000 users, tons of articles, and users praising the Secunia PSI - webelieve we have made a pretty good start!Secunia PSI history: July 2007: PSI public Beta gained over 100.000 users in just two months December 2007: PSI Release Candidate 1 (RC1) January 2008: PSI reaches 250.000 installations May 2008: PSI RC2, more than 500.000 installations June 2008: PSI RC3 October 2008: PSI RC4, more than 750.000 installationsIn the last version, we have implemented a new concept - a "Simple" and an"Advanced" user interface. The "Simple" user interface makes it simple forall users to secure programs against security threats while the "Advanced"interface offers full in-depth technical details about each of the programsfound on your PC. "Advanced" is what you are used to working with and weencourage you to keep on doing so.The "Simple" user interface is designed for users, who do not normallyinstall and patch software, thus making it easy for all users to staysecure!Furthermore, the final release increases the focus on security and thesecurity threats posed by each of the insecure programs installed on yourPC. The Secunia Advisory criticality rating is shown directly in theSecunia PSI for each of the insecure programs found.We hope that you will help promoting patching of insecure programs to allyour friends and family. In our opinion, it is equally important to updateyour programs as it is to keep anti-virus updated, installing Microsoftupdates, and having a personal firewall / Windows firewall enabled. We hope you will become a security ambassador and promote patching.Download Secunia PSI 1.0:http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/Stay Secure!Jakob BalleIT Development Manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 An extremely useful tool if you want all your key software as secure and uptodate as possible. Can become a bit of an obsession however. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I meant, of course, only the Essential Updates subforum. Still, it sometimes takes days until PSI realizes that we're out-of-date, whereas visitors here are instantly informed. But then, PSI covers some 7,000 applications, whereas we cover just a few dozens here at the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 The latest iteration of this "Flexera" officially expired on April 20th 2018 and will no longer work.
