Question #77022 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77022

Tom proposed the following answer:
Synaptic is great for doing all the hunting around, downloading,
installing and then keeping the program fully updated and even un-
installing if it comes to that.

The Windows world really lacks a central point for all that.  I think
that people scouting around the internet and then randomly downloading
some "new antivirus" or "anti-spyware" is a huge contributory factor in
the proliferation of Windows viruses, forcing people to only use
products from "reputable" companies whose main focus is on profits, not
on writing good software ;)
