Hello.

1a. When I go into Software Updater, it tells me if any of my apps are outdated and when I perform a Smart Scan, it also checks for outdated apps and tells me if any of my apps are outdated-Is it the same function that can be accessed two ways or are they different functions?

I ask the above question because Software Updater shows my apps as up to date while Smart Scan shows a few as being outdated.. Also, when I check for updates within each program, it shows it as up to date. As a result, the information is obviously inconsistent,

Am I missing something? :)
