Heimdal Agent is a little utility that automatically and silently updates popular 3rd party applications, such as Adobe Reader, Flash and Java. This is nice for two reasons: No more annoying update notifications from the vendors and a more secure PC, without vulnerabilities from unpatched 3rd party applications!

Heimdal is designed to ensure patching of software that are the most commonly misused to infect computers. The list is constantly being reviewed.
