How Heimdal Free Works
Heimdal® Free comes with a software manager that can monitor and auto-update your vulnerable software to the latest version, so you don’t have to do it manually.
Just check which applications you want to monitor or auto-update and that’s it. Heimdal® Free scans for software updates every 2h and applies them the moment they’re available.
The update process is automatic and silent, which means you’ll never be interrupted from your work or entertainment sessions. This applies even on limited user accounts and you can check the installed updates in the “View History” tab anytime you want.
Top 3 Reasons to Use Heimdal®’s Software Updater
Closes vulnerabilities.
Outdated software includes many security holes that cybercriminals can exploit in their attacks. Vulnerable applications represent a high security risk and can expose you to cyber threats. According to US CERT, keeping your software updated blocks 85%* of web attack angles used by malicious hackers.
Heimdal® Free keeps your browsers, utilities, and other apps up to date and prevents your software from getting infected with malware.
