FileHippo Update Checker

If you’ve visited FileHippo recently then you’d notice they put up a neat little software which you can download… it would scan your PC (rather quickly) for any software you have that needs updating (stuff that is available on FileHippo anyway) and would open for you a neat page where you can pick and choose.

Check it out here. I think it is pretty nifty :)




  • Alternative you can use Filerex Update Checker from FileREX

    "muta5alifeh teknolojiyan" means technologically incompetent. I laughed out loud because it reminded me of an inside joke with that blogger.

    I am not aware of the errors you are getting; it works very well for me :) you might want to contact them for support.

    sorry for my ignorance but what does- "muta5alifeh teknolojiyan" mean and why does it make KJ laugh out out out out out out.....loud?

    oh yeah the real reason I'm writing is because I've been using filehippo for a while then about two weeks ago when I try just go to their website ....everything and anything I attempt leads me to the same results:

    "HTTP ERROR: $CODE$

    $MESSAGE$

    RequestURI=/ "

    I've tried all of my security parameters in windows, firefox, spybot, avg and ie7. needless to say I haven't figured it out or solved my problem. Any insight, help, advice, words of wisdom, quips or merry ponderences would be taken into consideration and quite possibly very apreciated. that's all. 0 :~)

    yours truly,
    phil

    i like the logo of file hippo.  hey but you can use radarsync.  it doesn't have the cute logo but it has a better way to keep track of your downloads by making software packs.

    I tried to switch to fedora 8 a while back but it caused me lots of problems. My primary concern with any OS is that it is imperative it runs games. I didn't even switch to Shitsa because of that!

  • 10 new updates, 4 beta :S yikes!
  • ahhh! *points at moogle puff ball* I love it! so cute.
    If it wasn't for your recommendations, I'd still be using the most dull and basic everything-Internet-related lol, thanks!
  • ... and in the linux world we've been doing this for many many many years, easily and seamlessly :-)

    Actually, all the software on my machine gets updated (with my approval) automatically and without the need to restart the computer.
