Finding out which updates need to be installed


My scans always note a green alert that “new updates available need to be installed.:  But it never tells me which ones and when I check the program versions, they all seem to be current.

How can I find out what updates the scan is referring to?  I have Windows 7, but I can’t update that as no longer supported. Thanks.

Hello @jkrice 

 

Are you talking about System Analyzer that’s included in the Complete version of Webroot? https://docs.webroot.com/us/en/home/wsa_pc_userguide/wsa_pc_userguide.htm#UsingSystemControl/RunningSystemAnalyzer.htm%3FTocPath%3DUsing%2520System%2520Control%7C_____1

 

If so don’t put to much faith in it as most don’t use it because most items can’t be fixed. See here for more info: https://community.webroot.com/search?q=System%20Analyzer

 

Also as you said Windows 7 is not supported anymore!

 

Thanks,

Maybe and this is just a guess, but maybe it's not a update for programs, but for windows 7 update.Try going to windows update and see if there is a update for it.

Thanks to both.  Yes, referring to the report of the System Analyzer which I agree is not very useful.  Since that conclusion was reached years ago, why don’t the gurus at Web Root make it more user friendly and helpful for the consumer?

I understand, but someone in support should be able to answer. Besides Webroot is now more advanced than they were 8 years ago.

It has nothing to do with support but the Development Teams. Also I have been here since the beginning so I know what has gone on since Webroot SecureAnywhere came to be in late 2011!
