Heimdal is a handy and reliable utility designed to update critical applications installed on your computer.
Spending time on updating third party programs is painful. Heimdal patches the most critical third party programs for you automatically. Certain you have the latest updates? Improve your security: Try Heimdal and find out how many updates you forgot.
Heimdal minimizes your exposure to malware on the Internet by patching the programs on your computer which the IT-criminals are exploiting to gain access to and control over your PC. Most malware today gets installed on computers around the world, while users are browsing legitimate websites.
 
By patching continously you reduce the number of options the IT-criminals have to gain access to your computer. Despite this fact, most antivirus programs today do not patch anything. Heimdal is not an antivirus solution and should not be used as an alternative to one. Instead, Heimdal should be used in conjunction with your preferred anti virus program.
