Secunia Personal Software helps its users in keeping all of the different applications installed on their PC up-to-date by checking for their versions and providing links to updates in case required. The user interface provides a choice between a more basic layout and an advanced one. The former mode is for the new users while the later one provides greater level of information, and automatically checks the certain applications such as MS XML, and Adobe Flash player.

Secunia Personal Software enables its users to remove installed applications that have reached the likely end of their usefulness with a single End-of-Life Tab. Apart from this tab this tool marks the installed program as either Patched or Insecure immediately after its installation. Thus, users of this monitoring tool can remain abreast regarding the versions of different applications installed in their system, and update them when required.
