Keep apps up-to-date with PSI

The Personal Software Inspector (PSI) application from a company called Secunia is a really useful application which can help keep your computer up-to-date with the latest application patches.

The Secunia PSI is an invaluable tool for you to use when assessing the security patch state of software installed on your system. It constantly monitors your system for insecure software installations, notifies you when an insecure application is installed, and even provides you with detailed instructions for updating the application when available.

The application version is RC1 0.9.0.0, so not fully released yet, but should be stable enough for most people.
