A update tool is a software that will automate the process of updating applications running in your system. It will scan all the applications running in your system and will display available updates and patches for them. Not only that with the click of a button all these updates will be downloaded and applied to respective applications. I will tell you about some update tools that will help you keep your system and its applications updated and secure.
SUMo
SUMo tops in my list of the best update tool with a huge database of about 90,000 applications. So you will definitely find no problem in getting updates for all the applications installed in your system. It even has updates for other update tools that I will mention in the rest of this post. After starting SUMo click on the "Scan" button to start the scanning process. SUMo will list the applications installed in your system and specifies all the ones where an update is available. SUMo will not install the updates for you. Instead, it only notify you when updates are available. This is a major drawback of SUMo. SUMo is the application with the highest application detection rate than any other update tool. So if you need a tool that can detect updates then this tool is for you.
UpdateStar
UpdateStar is second to none when it comes to keep your system updated. It has a nice and cool interface. It is an amazing tool that will detect updates and download those updates for you and help to keep your system secure. It also has a huge database of about 80,000 applications to its credit. But the detection rate is bit low when compared to SUMo just because it only can list applications registered in the system control registry. Otherwise, does a good job and worth a try.
Update Checker
Update Checker is a update tool from Filehippo.com. Update Checker can scan for applications installed in your system and display updates in a Web page interface. You just have to click on the download icon to download a update. Update Checker can detect only 200 programs and only detects programs installed in the system control registry. But Update Checker includes updates for almost all popular applications including lot of freeware applications. Update Checker is a simple yet powerful update checker you ever need.
Personal Software Inspector
Personal Software Inspector is an all in one update tool that will keep your system secure. This is not just a update tool, but also a security tool that will help you close all the loop holes in your system by which malicious programs enter your system.
PSI is the software update tool from Secuna, which has a intuitive interface. It will help you patch applications there by keeping your system secure. The program has a database of just 4500 applications, but includes all major applications and does a good job in keeping your system up-to-date. PSI first scans for applications and its versions installed in your system. It then sends a report along with a signature of each application to the Secuna server, where it is compared against a database. PSI then presents you with detailed report of which applications are unsafe and needs an update. A wizard will help you install updates for the insecure version of application installed in your system. This is the best update tool I ever know and I highly recommend this tool for you.
Software-UpToDate
Software-UpToDate is the last, but not the least update tool in my list. SoftWare-UpToDate has a huge collection of applications in its database. It can detect applications listed in the system control registry and also will scan your registry to find applications. It then checks if updates are available for applications detected in its online database and notify you. The only drawback is that it can only detect applications and updates. It will not provide you with download link for updates. You manually have to download updates. Software-UpToDate is a nice update tool which can detect many applications and definitely worth a try.
I hope you enjoyed the post.
