I say it this way as some updates are solely for an individual having something unique to their computer or software that has NOTHING to do with YOUR computer... so you are performing updates, adding to your 'REGISTRY' item that are UNNECESSARY! Additionally and most important of all - there are MANY programs I have that I would like to see an update - verifying the REASON for the 'update' of course BUT this program does not DETECT my programs. Many of them are common to thousands of folks. Sooo - the value is quite minimal! The idea of having a simple program to check for ‘updates’ is of some value.
