    I understand that it could quickly generate more troubles than real benefit.
    But then, i wonder why people would keep PSI 3.0 !

    Because some people prefer a software monitor that only monitors for security updates and EOL status, not for all updates, and also because some people need a software monitor that offers updating programs automatically.
    As I said, PSI is an entirely different product than SUMo.

    For me it would be useful for informational purposes. I would consider then dropping PSI 3.

    But maybe implement it as @Stupendous Man suggests i.e. ability to enable / disable in settings.

    Fwiw, I dropped PSI last month finally. I was having problems with it working properly on 2 pc's and just gave up on it. SuMo is a much more reliable app for my purposes and Kyle does a great job of keeping it current.

    There's a minor bug in the new SUMo 5.2.1.357.
    When trying to close SUMo, before checking the "Hide this window" box in the "Thank you!" window, a window pops up, saying "Impossible de rendre modale une fenêtre visible", even when language is set to English.
    After checking the "Hide this window" box, all is fine again.

    Hi

    I have just installed the latest portable version. But it tells me there's an available update for Crystal Security v3.7.0.3 which is beta

    http://www.crystalsecurity.eu/

    and Macrium Reflect Free which is version 6.3.1745.0 but indicating the available update as version 7.0.2161.0 which is the paid version. FYI, the free v7.x Macrium Reflect has not been released yet

    https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree

    Also, for VoodooShield the official stable version on its website is v3.53 but SUMo is indicating its available beta version 3.58 as available update

    https://voodooshield.com/

    Can you solve all these problems since they are not stable version or not released yet. Thanks

    @NiteRanger For the beta errors, you can also right-click the entry and 'Report Beta' ...

    I don't know if Kyle can differentiate the Macrium Free from the paid version. What I do in this case, is 'Skip this update > For ever' which will at least suppress the entry until the next (v7) version, else right-click 'Ignore' but then SUMo will no longer report on it and you will need to rely on Reflect's own notifications.

    Hi

    I'll leave the issue of Macrium Reflect Free out for the moment but Crystal Security still not solve.

    SUMo is still reporting v3.7.0.3(beta) as available update

    Hi

    I'm running SUMo v5.2.2.358 and already it's showing the availability of the latest updates it's not updating the following software

    Firefox 64-bit portable edition. SUMO is showing v53.0 but I already updated it to v53.0.2.0 sometimes back

    Wise Disk Cleaner. SUMo is showing v9.4.7.663 which, in fact, should read v9.47.663

    Opera 64-bit developer version v46.0.2573.0. I have already updated to v46.0.2590.0

    I un-beta-ed VLC media player version 2.2.5.1.
    If one flags a software version as beta, please un-beta when it's released as stable version. Thanks. :thumb:
