[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1729695, member: 131855"] My understanding is that the profile at the site is part of how the app knows what is on your system (and therefore might need upgrading). For those who may not follow this type of app it looks at the software on your system and checks that list against the updates on their site. It will then show a list of possible updates and offer to install them. It's similar to the Apple Software Update function but isn't limited to Apple software. [/QUOTE]
