Update Scanner ToolsHover your mouse cursor over each icon (As seen in this picture) and you will get a descriptive pop up). There is also a scan button, allowing you to scan saved sites without waiting. A very cool way to save sites to be scanned is to hover your cursor over a page you want to scan daily, and click with the RIGHT mmouse button. A menu will pop up stating "Scan Page for Updates". At that point you will be asked how often you want the page to scan. For constantly updating sites, you may select the frequency you desire. For most sites, the "Once a day" selection is probably adequate.
This application will allow changes on a website to be higlighted in yellow, drawing your eye to the newest information. You can set the application to update according to your preferences.
