Geek Software of the Week: Ninite!
My last software to perform updates may have been malware according to a viewer’s report and research, so please DO NOT USE Patch My PC! I have deleted the entry for “Patch My PC” from my Geek Software of the Week! I will cover it more in this week’s show.

You can learn more about a program by hovering over it.
2. Click Get Installer and run it
Ninite installs apps for you in the background. No clicking next. We say NO to toolbars or other junk.

Your installer will update apps to the latest versions. If something is up-to-date we’ll skip it.
