Thanks I just updated however I have noticed I am using the latest version of SUMo but when I click get update the website tells me I am on an old build:

 

Run a "check" and re-open the page : it should display OK

 

Yeah it displays OK now. Thanks

 

You're welcome, thanks for using SUMo !

 

Is there a portable version of this program..?
I see the installer throws in opencandy with it and for this reason im not installing.
Regards.

 

The developer needs some revenue to keep the program going.
i personally hate toolbars and i suppose there is a way to install without these.
I cant find a portable version.

 

Hi,

There is NO OpenCandy in our installer.
However, of course there's a Zip portable version available on our download page : http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?download

 

Does sumo detect more installed programs than say secunia and filehippo update checker.?
I like the look of your program but i fail to see what it does which is any different from the programs ive mentioned.
Regards.

 

You're right, SUMo find much more programs than all competitors

 

Thank you Kyle for responding.
How does your program find more.?
Please dont misunderstand me im not trying to detract your programme in the slightest.its just im wondering why programs like secunia and update checker fail to find and update the programs which sumo does.
Regards.

 

They only look at either :
- a list of software that is on their server. They are unable to "adapt" to software they don't know
- they only read data from registry, no real scan of portable apps

SUMo :
- Learn & adapts to new software
- Relies on EXE files, not on registry

The real question is why don't they find as much software as SUMo

 

Thank you kyle.I will try your program.

 

Have you tried SUMo ?

 

Secunia PSI has never worked right for me. It either freezes on opening or scanning on both my systems 100% of the time. The Secunia online installer requires java, which opens security holes so the online version is worthless to me.

After seeing this thread I installed Sumo. I installed the "lite" version without adware. Its only flaw is it can't list just security updates.

I can understand if it wants to list driver updates also. But it is pointless to list a minor bug fix for every single app on my system. Updating for minor bugs would be a full time job and pointless for 99.9% of us.

Main question: Its the security patches that are important. Any chance that a column will be added to indicate which updates are security updates? Or an option in the settings to change Sumo to only show security updates?

 

I'll add security patches and drivers soon.

 

You are the man thank you! Great software, this fix will be a huge time saver for a lot of us!

 

You're welcome

Mr Katarn we need your help
I use opera browser (beta version called Next) but developers made a regression so the new beta version is 12.10.1592 and no more the 12.50.1583.0 as you show (correctly due to the numer)
They explain that here
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2012/09/12/opera-12-10-beta-candidate
Plus as they said: "The decreased version number means the you will not receive automatic updates from Opera Next to 12.10. However it is safe to install this build over the top of the last 12.50 build."
So if users still continue thinking their 12.50 is last version there are no popup or automatic update for them.
If you can manually set 12.10.1592 as last beta version (or move down the 12.50) will solve this issue for user not addicted to look at Opera homepage
Thanks

 

And what's the story with this malwarebytes? SUMo refuses strongly lol to see it as updated

 

I dont think im going to chance it with this program.it seems quite unstable and also some of the installers are coming bundled with relevant knowledge garbage and god knows what else...

 

No problem here with SUMo latest version all my programs are quiet well displayed with the right version.

So for me this program is very useful.

Rules.

 

It's a very stable program and i don't think there is another updater that comes even close. Just don't click on the first link, the full installer is bundled with everything you can imagine lol. Use the other 3 links, download the zip or the 7z packages that don't need installation

 

ok thanks.just wondering as i looked at a previous post does this update drivers as well.?
