Use Ninite to keep all your programs up to date

One of the keys to locking down your computer from malware is to keep ALL your programs up to date, not just Windows.  I know it can be a pain cycling through all of your programs and determining which ones are up to date and which are not.  Introducing Ninite.com.  The only purpose of this site is to keep everything up to date.  Simply put a check next to every program you want updated and follow the prompts and the Ninite installer does the rest.  If you are already up to date, it simply skips the install, if not, it updates your program to the latest version.  If you find something you do not have, simply pick it and it will install it with the rest.  The best part is that it ONLY installs the program.  It will not install any typical add-on programs that you may encounter when you try to install the program yourself.  I've mentioned Ninite before but it cannot be mentioned enough.  Too many people only think of Windows when updating their system.  All your programs need your attention.
