Updating

Used to be a program/service called CatchUp, which scanned the system and listed
what updates were software and driver updates were available. Is there anything
like that out there nowadays to make it easier updating? Thanks.

BigFix was installed on my gateway system, to do just what your
asking.

There will be no more updates for BigFix Free Consumer Edition from the end
of this month.

One way is to know what is being installed or updated, I disabled
BigFix the first day.

Free Consumer Edition is being discontinued. My Bigfix was installed
by Gateway and I'm pretty sure they had a contract with them so BigFix
should still work on those machines.

It was a try.
