Q: Where do I find updates for the activity monitor, macbook pro?

Does Apple have its own updates for the activity monitor for a macbook pro? Do I have to find a third party activity monitor? Which one is the best?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Any updates for it will be part of Mac OS X updates unless otherwise noted.

Activity Monitor is part of the base system in OS X.
If you are having a problem, please tell us what it is.

My Mac is up to date. I found a third party app for activity monitor which helped me find my problem. Something to do with my new printer/scanner/copier was revving up the computer. I took it off and now it is working fine... I guess that I will have to reinstall every time I try to use it...

My activity monitor says, "You can't use this version of the application "Activity Monitor" with this version of OS X. You have "Activity Monitor" 10.8.0

Choose Utilities from the Finder's Go menu and open it from there. If you're already trying to open that, back up your data(as a precaution), restart with the Command and R keys held down, and reinstall the OS.

I'd just try installing the 10.10.4 combo update, again, before a full reinstall.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 Combo Update
