Mozilla upgrades a Firefox service that scans your computer for security updates on existing Internet browsers installed on your computer. This security checker scans third-party browsers such as Internet Explorer (IE), Safari, and Opera.
The Mozilla checker is similar to Microsoft’s Windows Update that checks your computer on the first Tuesday of each month. However, Windows Update only checks the Windows operating system and Internet Explorer. If you manually start Windows Update, you often grow five o’clock shadow while it scans your computer.
We performed a scan on our test computer. The service was very fast and reported needed updates. The test reported updates for the Adobe Flash browser plug-in and release 17 of Sun’s Java run-time engine.
Run the scanner on your computer. What do you bet your computer will need an update or two? Be proactive and update your computer before you have to repair your computer. If you do, you know who to call for St. Louis service and repair.
