I have no problem with TT, per se, but after a scan it shows that I need to update, for example, Ad-Aware Free to version 8.3.1. That's what I have installed. Also, Outlook Attachment Remover. I have the latest version (2.1) and TT says it's out-of-date. What gives here?

I also have the same problem. For me it say that Quick was out dated. Even though I have the latest version installed.

Hello manmur,
I understand that after you updated QuickTime to the latest version, TechTracker still reported that the program was out-of-date.
Remember that CNET TechTracker always just configures reports based on the information it gathered from its last scan.
In your case, you have TechTracker on a schedule to scan your system just once a week.
This infrequent schedule is bound to produce inaccurate results.
I suggest that you may want to increase the scanning frequency in the settings for TechTracker or manually initiate a scan, wait for the scan to finish, and then check your scan results.

Sorry Nathan;
but I also have the latest TT installed (with automatic scanning set to every 4 hours), and I get the same results as stated above...so there is definitely a glitch in the software somewhere 
Vista H.P. 64 bit
IE 8
Google Chrome (5.0.375.127)
1 update available, 38 tracked items

I have it set for once a Day. Normally it scans after I start my laptop and 24 hours after. I am now going to have it set to scan very 4 hours now.

TT online shows I have 15 programs to update, the local program shows 11. In addition, the website has the wrong OS version for my computer. My other computer is listed correctly. Really like to get this up and running successfully on this computer.
Hello geertzhurtz,
I noticed you had two computers linked to your TechTracker account. One had not been accessed since 2009. I'm guessing you were seeing results for that older computer, so I went ahead and deleted it. You should run another scan with TechTracker. You may need to log out and back into your TechTracker web page to see the updated results.
Let me know how this works for you.
