Hello Chris and all This sounds like one of those "best left alone" services to me. There are a couple of them popping up now and then and, according to some of the Windows technical people whose comments I have read, you should "give them a wide buff". Some of the services use intrusive methods and software to update your system and some of the so-called update actually deliberately distribute trojans and worms. So we here at Techno wouldn't recommend anybody using Windows to subscribe to these services, for want of a better word. They are apparently dangerous, not to mention extortionate. This isn't our own personal experience, but it's what's been written in a lot of places by technical people far more informed than I.

Just want to tell you about a service from Ninite that claims to update automatically and without user intervention any software you have installed on your computer, even if the software didn't originate from Ninite. It's $9.99/year. You basically buy the service, download a small program, and from then on it appears to check for updates at startup. The program will even run at computer startup to ensure you are always up to date. Unlike other updaters there's no websites to go to, no clicking involved and like I said it all takes place automatically and without user intervention, as usual with Ninite products. They even do family packs ideal if you wish to update family or friends PCs.
