When I updated to the latest PSI Secunia I had it set to install updates automatically.
Now I'm wondering why it isn't doing so?
My computer is online 24/7, 365 & I'm on DSL.
It tells me I have some programs that need manual updates,why? TIA :)

The answer is in the FAQ where it explains some programmes cannot be auto updated:

I'll give it a try, but the last time I tried it the way it suggested,it just sat at about the 1/8th% point & I finally had to X out after an hour or so.Thanks for the help.:)

That could be caused because Secunia use an SPS silent install wrapper.

If U get more grief just go direct to the programme vendor & update it normally.
