There are some third party options available that scan your system and then
search for upgrades. One example is called the BigFix which is free to home
users http://help.bigfix.com/ However I don't know if that is what you are
looking for.

I think you might mean Baseline Security Advisor, and if you don't then its
worth looking at anyway

View its features and Download it at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsahome.mspx
its completely free

Hope this helps

Dag,

There may be many in addition to the ones suggested. Just be careful, backup
your data before you start, and if in doubt don't remove or turn off anthing
suggested.

There is a program that will tell you your installed hardware - all of it,
the driver levels, Microsoft Hotfixes, all installed software licenses,
including product Key when available. Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com
