Are your security patches up to date? If you are not absolutely certain, Secunia is offering a free tool to check:
"A Danish security vendor is offering a free tool designed to inform users when their applications need patching.
Secunia released the beta version of Personal Software Inspector for download, a client program that periodically checks to see if new updates have been issued for some 4,200 applications."

Remember, this version is a 'beta' and may have the usual glitches that are associated with early releases. However, this concept could keep your system up to date and a bit more secure. And it is free.

After all is invested in correctness, then how does it stand with truth?

No bad, Some software programs will check on startup to see if patches are available and download and install those patches.

I have removed those links from your signature. Considering the contents of your posts, it would appear that your only purpose for registering here was to post links in a thinly vailed attempt to drive traffic to a site that you are obviously affliated with. Do not post them again.
