What is it?
The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases. These are then neatly displayed in your browser for you to download.

But it gets better...
The client is FREE, just over 100kb to download and only takes seconds to run! In fact on our test machines the process is complete in under 2 seconds!

The Update Checker works on any Windows PC running Vista, XP, 2003, 2000, ME or 98.

I have a bad memory if I forget again to use quotes... lol
This update checker is really good, well better than the ones I have tested. It even shows you the beta versions available for the installed programs in a different category.

I never liked cracking apps to check for updates .

I've been using this from its release. Great tool.
