Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for efficiently collecting code updates. The apparatus includes a generation module that identifies sites that provide code updates based on information about the computing system and its components that is already stored in the system. A supplement module identifies additional sites by monitoring Internet traffic on the computing system and looking for certain keywords, patterns, and regular expressions in visited sites. The user may also manually enter sites to supplement the sites automatically identified by the generation module and the supplement module. A monitor module monitors the identified sites for changes and determines when a new code update is available. A notification module notifies the user of the code updates when the monitor module determines that they have become available. The apparatus may also include a download module that automatically downloads new code updates for the user to install.
