In other words, it monitors for patches in case some software you've installed has vulnerability issues. It does not mention any updates for software that have no vulnerability issues, even if such updates are available. Another thing is that keeping it running on your computer might take more of your PC's memory than you're willing to accept. My advice is to check the task manager and see how much memory PSI is using and determine if you can live with it (it can be over 100MB of memory).
