most if not all of these, so if there be vulnerabilities, perhaps they would be pointed out this way.

I haven't tried Chrome in a while, but FileHippo's update checker usually points to an update before any vulnerabilities are found by Secunia anyway. I can get a five day jump, or more, on zero day vulnerability, just using the update checker, for most of the time.

Although you won't expose yourself to these anyway, my clients will, and do, no matter what advice. I say, why should we knuckle under to these criminals anyway? I want to be free to use any software I want as long as I can be at least reasonably secure.

I haven't been successfully attacked for a long time, and the last time was my fault for not checking my firewall after trying some new software; and even then, my defenses were successful in defending the perimeter.
