Secunia or FileHippo?

Submitted by Darrell Icenogle on Sat, 09/08/2007 - 11:01am.

I appreciate the intent and execution of both FileHippo Update Checker and Secunia PSI, but I have to ask whether it's necessary to keep both of them or your machine.  I reviewed Secunia PSI in detail, here, and I provided some comparison of the two programs in the review of FileHippo Update Checker, above.

Both programs find updates.  FileHippo finds more updates, but Secunia alone provides security-related information.

What do you think? 

They have different roles

Secunia points out vulnerabilities. FileHippo allows finding beta versions. There is someoverlap, but over the last six months, experience shows that we need both.

Suggestion

Alternative you can use Filerex Update Checker from FileREX

In network plus, having a cisco training is better for a ccnp professional than having nothing else but an mcdba certification.
