The scan is quick- it took less time than a manual scan for updates at the MS Update site. It's almost "one-stop shopping" to ensure you are up-to-date with many common applications. It found 4 apps that I needed to update, and provided links.
Secunia isn't trying to sell you anything (there is no paid version, and no ads). Well worth checking out.
