Software Updater
What it is
Software Updater is a free Windows application that scans installed software and checks versions against a database to find newer releases. It displays programs needing attention in a browser, where users can download current versions, choose which updates to install, and skip others. The site says the catalog covers thousands of popular Windows applications, including Chrome, Firefox, Skype, iTunes, and Adobe Reader. A scheduler can run scans automatically in the background, and bulk app updates are supported. The download page lists version 1.18.1122.31 at 5.17MB for PCs running Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, or XP. The maker says it vets updates for malicious threats and describes the software as free from malware, adware, viruses, added bundles, installers, and toolbars. TouchStoneSoftware.com provides free support. The EULA limits each license to one computer and non-commercial use. The privacy policy says submitted personal information and non-personal details such as URLs, browser, and IP address are collected.
