I don't know that it hurts anything, but I've never heard it's necessary. I run it again if my jack starts acting funky, but overall a computer reboot will clean up most minor issues.
Windows Vista and Laptop with XP SP2 on the road. Occasionally, a Mac if my Windows machine isn't working.
Actually in the MagicFIX, I don't think it does any upgrading it is just a check & adjust program.
If you want to watch for new software upgrades the box right below Fix Me is a box that says something to the effect "Still not fixed" click here. That will actually down load the latest software update which for PC(s) is version 1.73.4153.2910.. I do check it once in awhile to see if any thing new has popped up. Actually you don't have to down load it to check for new, just fake it right up to the point that you would normally say OK to the down load and if it is 7.11 megabytes it has not changed and is still the version I mentioned.
