How to keep your system updated automatically?

We have lot of applications installed in our computer. Most of the applications like browsers, anitviruses, firewalls, and others need to be updated to render maximum performance. Otherwise, these applications become outdated and our system will become vulnerable to malicious attacks. Manually updating applications in our system is a monotonous task.
A update tool is a software that will automate the process of updating applications running in your system. It will scan all the applications running in your system and will display available updates and patches for them. Not only that with the click of a button all these updates will be downloaded and applied to respective applications. I will tell you about some update tools that will help you keep your system and its applications updated and secure.

SUMo
SUMo tops in my list of the best update tool with a huge database of about 90,000 applications. So you will definitely find no problem in getting updates for all the applications installed in your system. It even has updates for other update tools that I will mention in the rest of this post. After starting SUMo click on the "Scan" button to start the scanning process. SUMo will list the applications installed in your system and specifies all the ones where an update is available. SUMo will not install the updates for you. Instead, it only notify you when updates are available. This is a major drawback of SUMo. SUMo is the application with the highest application detection rate than any other update tool. So if you need a tool that can detect updates then this tool is for you.

UpdateStar
UpdateStar is second to none when it comes to keep your system updated. It has a nice and cool interface. It is an amazing tool that will detect updates and download those updates for you and help to keep your system secure. It also has a huge database of about 80,000 applications to its credit. But the detection rate is bit low when compared to SUMo just because it only can list applications registered in the system control registry. Otherwise, does a good job and worth a try.

Update Checker
Update Checker is a update tool from Filehippo.com. Update Checker can scan for applications installed in your system and display updates in a Web page interface. You just have to click on the download icon to download a update. Update Checker can detect only 200 programs and only detects programs installed in the system control registry. But Update Checker includes updates for almost all popular applications including lot of freeware applications. Update Checker is a simple yet powerful update checker you ever need.

Personal Software Inspector
Personal Software Inspector is an all in one update tool that will keep your system secure. This is not just a update tool, but also a security tool that will help you close all the loop holes in your system by which malicious programs enter your system.
PSI is the software update tool from Secuna, which has a intuitive interface. It will help you patch applications there by keeping your system secure. The program has a database of just 4500 applications, but includes all major applications and does a good job in keeping your system up-to-date. PSI first scans for applications and its versions installed in your system. It then sends a report along with a signature of each application to the Secuna server, where it is compared against a database. PSI then presents you with detailed report of which applications are unsafe and needs an update. A wizard will help you install updates for the insecure version of application installed in your system. This is the best update tool I ever know and I highly recommend this tool for you.

Software-UpToDate
Software-UpToDate is the last, but not the least update tool in my list. SoftWare-UpToDate has a huge collection of applications in its database. It can detect applications listed in the system control registry and also will scan your registry to find applications. It then checks if updates are available for applications detected in its online database and notify you. The only drawback is that it can only detect applications and updates. It will not provide you with download link for updates. You manually have to download updates. Software-UpToDate is a nice update tool which can detect many applications and definitely worth a try.

Wyzo- the browser for download Junkies.

Wyzo is a new browsing sensation in the world of browsers. Wyzo is a Gecko browser engine based browser. So it looks like Firefox, but there are some differences in the way it looks. Otherwise, we can say that it is 90% Firefox + Extensions. The functioning of the browser, the menus, the shortcuts, and even the Firefox commands like "about:conifig" are there. So if you are a Firefox user then you will not find anything striking or new. The only difference you may feel is the look and few additional extensions, most of them are available for Firefox. Wyzo has a new theme instead of the Firefox default theme. Then it has some extensions that are quite useful and that make it Wyzo.

The most important feature of Wyzo is the main objective for which it is made, to download. Wyzo allows downloading torrents and other files much faster than Firefox. Since it supports torrents you did not need a torrent client to download torrents. The download speed you get will be much higher with the FireDownload extension. Then there is the FireTorrent extension that helps you download torrents. Another cool feature of Wyzo is Cooliris, it is previously known as PicLens. Cooliris allows you to browse thousands of websites in a 3D environment. These are the notable features of Wyzo. There is the Ctrl-Tab extension that allows you to visually navigate between open tabs and there is also widely popular addon for Firefox, FireGestures. Otherwise, it is just Firefox in disguise.

I downloaded Wyzo from their website. The browser is still in its beta and there are little little niggles when you use it. It allows me to download files much faster than with Firefox. So it really is better than Firefox in that aspect. It looks bit beautiful than Firefox. The security features are similar to Firefox. So there is nothing new or notable in that aspect and even the memory usage is also the same. The other difference I noticed is that instead of Google the default homepage of Wyzo, which is customizable, is powered by Ask. Another difference is that the "Getting Started" and "Latest Headlines" are not there in the Bookmarks Toolbar. Instead, it has bookmarks to popular websites like YouTube, YouTorrent, Flickr, Amazon, Myspace, Facebook, and digg.
In my opinion, Wyzo is for those who need the security features of Firefox along with some download speed. It comes preloaded with great extensions like Cooliris, Firedownload, FireTorrent etc. So you did not have to download them separately! Overall, it is a nice experiment and a good hack of Firefox made for download junkies.

Amazon Kindle 2

The new Amazon kindle, a super slim and elegantly designed Book reader is all set to release this year. Kindle 2 seems to give more importance to beauty than any thing else in its new avatar. The smooth and brushed white metal finish with white curvy edges and slim design may make us think it is an "Apple reader" at first sight.

Kindle 2 has some cool features while it has dumped some of its features in the older versions. The new Kindle comes with a 6-inch screen with a 16-tone gray scale e-link display. This seems good, but still there is flicker between pages. It still needs some time to flick between pages. Reading the text with Kindle is still a great experience because it was such an amazing gadget. When talking of Kindle, it is from Amazon a place to buy products online securely and easily. Kindle is also best at this, buying books. Purchasing books and magazines from Kindle 2 can be done easily by clicking on the 3-G link.
You can use Kindle 2 to share your books between multiple devices through Whispersync. This allows you to buy book using Kindle and read it on any device you prefer. Kindle 2 now has text-to-speech support, which is exceptional. This gives more value to you as a user. The text-to-speech engine will read books for you and you need not have to strain your eyes much. The scroll wheels have vanished and instead you have super sensitive buttons to navigate from one page to other. The removable battery has gone and as has the SD slot.
Browsing the web with Kindle still remains a dream. Kindle 2 also bears the same burden. It is slow and really crawls at times. Loading PDFs from the web is still a problem. The e-link display needs to improve and the text appears softer. The image display quality has improved to 16-shade gray scale, which is a great improvement. Then the pricing of titles is very high. You have to pay up to Euro10 a pop.
The Kindle has changed its face in Kindle 2. I think you will love the super-slim, sleek, and light-weight design. With Wi-Fi, great storage space, and elegant design Kindle is everyone’s’ dream reader.
Features
*Battery life-2 weeks with Wi-Fi off
*Storage- 2GB
*Dimension-203x135x9 1mm
*Weight-290g
*Whispersync
*Text-to-speech functionality
*Easy navigation with super-sensitive buttons.

The expected price is between $300-$350.

Google Docs can be used to edit Microsoft Word and Excel Files.

Google Doc is the most popular online document processing tool. Google Docs now supports Microsoft Word and Excel Files. You can upload these files and Google Docs will automatically convert these files so that you can edit them online.
The only problem is that the document will appear without some formatting settings you have applied to your Word or Excel document. After Google Docs have successfully converted your document you can edit it in Docs.

I have uploaded a Word 2007 document that I received via email and Google Docs converted it for me. The only few things missing in the document were the formatting settings. The Word and Excel formats that Google Docs supports are .docx and .xlsx. Docs already supports .ppt file format. This is a good news for everyone because we no longer need a Word viewer or Excel viewer and view and edit our files online anytime or anywhere. Since formatting options are not supported you can only use Docs to convert unformatted .docx or .xls files.
