Brothersoft Updater: Get Push Notifications For Outdated Windows Apps When Updates Are Available

Earlier in June, I reviewed an application update notifier for Windows called AutoUP, which would track and update outdated programs, and let you download & install some widely popular free applications, right from your desktop. The application was darn good, and contained numerous additional features as well. Apparently not everyone wants a software bloated with more options that they actually need. If it is only an application updater you want, then have a look at Brothersoft Updater. It doesn’t automatically update the programs, and you’d need to manually complete the said operation, but its scanning engine is quite efficient, and is designed to notify you about most of your apps (it effectively scanned all the installed programs during testing, to say the least). You may either manually scan for updates or specify time intervals after which the application would automatically push update notifications. Coupled with an intuitive UI, it’s quite easy to use, and quietly sits at your system tray and keeps monitoring for updates. Read More

There are numerous tools available out there that keep an eye on all the installed applications and let you know if any of them needs an update, such as the ever-popular Ninite (reviewed here), or the recently covered Conloco (reviewed here) and Soft4Boost Update Checker (reviewed here). AutoUP is another such tool that, along with tracking all your outdated programs and system updates, also enables you to download some of the most widely-used free applications, including Firefox, Evernote, Notepad++, FileZilla, Google Chrome, Skype, VLC Player, WinRAR and more. It shows both the stable and beta releases of the programs, generates a log of all downloaded and updated user applications, and gives an excerpt of your system information. Read on for more details.

Mac OS X App Store comes with an intuitive auto-update feature that looks for updates for installed applications and downloads only the required data for updating the application to latest available version, but what about those applications which aren’t listed in Mac App Store? If application, which is downloaded from external source, doesn't have an auto-update feature, you need to manually update it from either within the application or its product page.
