FileHippo Update Checker

 

I pick none as I visit Calender of Updates http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?app=calendar and 99% of products are shown there also anyone can add and entry to the Calender all you have to be is a member!

TH

 

SUMo and RSS feeds.

 

Update Manager (ubuntu)

 

None. I like better to take notices and to manage by myself.

 

I use RSS Feeds from Major Geeks, Softpedia and Cnet.
I use Feedreader to get the feeds and have it set to run with my system and minimized in the taskbar.
You can easily subscribe to the developers page to get the latest updates of individual products.
Software updater programs never get the version correct.
I've tried several and all have disappointed me.

Thanks.

 

None for me...

 

none cause i like to visit those home pages and see if a new driver or software version is available, ex nVidia, Realtek, Java, Microsoft, Tune-up Utilities etc,etc all by hand lol

Filehippo
Calender of Updates
Softpedia send me email
Secunia

 

mmmmmmmmm

why do Secunia hang on my PCS

anyway

Looking for something powerful Like it


i didn't like the currently alternatives but what shall i do

 

None here.

 

KC Softwares SUMo detects even more software than it, and alerts for all kinds of updates, not just security. It's only on-demand though, and can detect many other unnecessary files (such as multiple executables for one program). Very good for an advanced user.

 

Thanks i tried Sumo

But i don't think it has an autoUpdater

if sumo Have an autoUpdater Function It will be something Like Perfect

 

That's why I said on-demand.

 

Filehippo has most of the software on my computer.

edit: Going to switch to ninite.com. Their updater costs money but you can just run the installer.

 

I always check for updates from the drop down menus in the program itself.

And my AV is the only thing I allow to auto-update, and engine + defs only. I look for product updates once a month (2'nd Wed. of each month), along with my Windows updates.

Everything else I do manually.

 

In addition to Wilder where I often see that new updates has been released thumb: ), I use "calendar of updates" and "Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI)".

 

Secunia.
Nothing else comes close.

 

What programs does Secunia show?

 

Well, I currently use it and motherboard drivers show, Windows/Microsoft programs/files, Flash, browsers, AV, media players utilities like CCleaner. If it's at least a decently known program, Secunia is likely to show it. Often times it tells you of updates before the programs themselves tell you. I love its auto-update feature. It saves you a good amount of checking, though I'd be more cautious with Windows updates.

 

I remember it showing most of my programs, but only security updates and issues.
