Free app tells you when security updates are available for your software
Software security firm Secunia's Personal Software Inspector (PSI) is a free application that alerts you when updates are available for your programs.
When you install PSI it will scan your computer for installed software and categorize each program as up-to-date, insecure, or end-of-life. The program has information on more than 4,200 commonly used applications. Whenever a software maker pushes out a patch or an update, PSI will notify you and provide a download link.

I see you guys are talking about security and had to let you guys knows about something.
I would love to share a new tool with your readers. BigString is a free email service that allows a user to easily send, recall, erase, self destruct and modify an email after it has been sent. BigString users have unprecedented control over all of their email, whether they choose to send it through the BigString.com website or even Microsoft Outlook.
It is inevitable. At one point or another in your life, you’ve sent an email to a colleague, client, family member or significant other that’s been highly regrettable. Even before pressing send, you knew it was a bad idea, yet you rolled the
dice and clicked anyway, only to cringe at what you wrote later on.

Have a great day!
