In the past, we’ve seen great tools like FileHippo Update Checker and Secunia Software Inspector which helps you keep your softwares upto date. Both of them are absolutely perfect for any computer user, but recently I just came across a new tool called Update Star, which beats the hell out of both.
It starts by scanning your hard drive for installed programs and prepares a list of softwares which are outdated. It displays the list of software which needs to be update, along with the appropriate download links from the vendor or author of the software. The best part is that it checks both for shareware and freeware.
UpdateStar also includes the functionality of uninstalling programs from your computer, so you can use it to remove junk softwares as well. I found UpdateStar better than any other similar tool. It could have been a killer, if it could check for driver updates as well.
