Many freeware applications that are downloaded and installed are updated on a regular basis,
monthly or, in some cases, weekly. Obviously not all of these updates are hugely significant, but they can
make applications
more stable and it may be worth your while downloading and installing them. If you don’t regularly visit download or software
publisher’s sites, there’s no way of telling if an app has been updated.
A useful and convenient way of keeping software
up-to-date is to use an auto-update tool, this enables you to save time as you don’t have to check
manually.
UpdateStar
5.2
is a popular auto-update tool that automatically finds updates for any
applications installed on your PC. This latest v5 is more likely to
find updates for installed applications than previous versions, but that’s not to say it will find updates for everything you have installed.
