Help.

Folks please set me straight. I've used "Patch" for a long time and maybe, I've never used it correctly. PPC scans and nothing is out of date. Today, I guess PPC updated itself and I got a great new interface. I go over the new interface and check "what should be checked" all the programs that I have installed on my PC. PPC then tells me to download all those programs that are installed and up to date (18 of them) that are current, but PPC want to redownload them again. What am I doing wrong?

Also, trying to register for your forum, to ask this question, was a royal pain, (captcha) would never allow me to register with my browser of choice (Epic Privacy browser), finally when I used FF, it accepted the picture jig saw. Hey folks, everybody doesn't use IE, FF etc). I understand that you all don't want spam and have chosen a captcha setup to prevent spam. But, geez guys, the one you chose makes only the most persistent users, able to register. I went to "Captcha" to complain and of course, could not get passed their captchas to do that, how convenient. So I am complaining to you. If someone at that company wishes to contact me, please forward my contact info to them. Sorry to be a whiner, but geez! 

Hopefully you'll be able to steer me how to use or not use your app do that I'm not downloading stuff over and over. I checked, that you all can contact me by email, if that is a better way to help a newbi like me. Thanks S. Rubin

You don't need to "check" the programs you are already have. They are detected automatically and you will be alerted if there's an update for them. Then, you will only need to press the "Perform Update" button.

You only need to check (tick) programs that are not currently installed in your system and you want to add them.
