Hi Patch My PC team, you are gorgeous! Until lately I didn't think there is such an automated patching service for home users, and even for free!

Here my question: My antivirus app Avira nowadays also checks whether software is up to date, but does not update without preminum license. Avira now judges that three C++ Redistributable packages are outdated while PatchMyPC judges that all C++ are current. It seems you don't detect three C++ packages.

Control panel > Programs > Programs and Features shows
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) - 12.0.30501.0
and
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) - 12.0.30501.0
installed in Dec 2020.
Avira detects both and recommends upgrading both to 12.0.40664.0
PatchMyPC does not seem to detect them.

Control panel > Programs > Programs and Features shows
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) - 14.25.28508.3
Avira detects this and recommends upgrading it to 14.29.30139.0
PatchMyPC does not seem to detect it.
PatchMyPc offers installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable (x86) 14.32.31332.0 . Maybe that is actually 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86) and could replace the outdated 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) - 14.25.28508.3 ? But installing the x86 14.32.31332.0 probably would leave the outdated x86 14.25.28508.3 untouched. I didn't test that.

Thanks again
Peter
