Two P/C Applications I use

I use an application called “CCleaner” daily on my P/C and here is the description:
“CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!” :)

This product also informs the user when new updates are available and today when I updated this product, I decided to check for other “freeware” downloads at “FileHippo.com”, which is the site where the “CCleaner” update file is downloaded from.

When I arrived at the “FileHippo” main page I noticed at the top right of the window was a promotion “Download our FREE Update Checker NEW”, “and s Scan your P/C for the latest software updates”.

This caught my interest because I thought that most major application software would inform the user that there is an update available if the version of software they are using is out of date. After installing and running “Updater Checker” I found that this was not true at all. What this does is it scans your P/C and produces a list of all the application software that is out of date to a window. Then you can select from the list which applications you wish to update to the most recent version by merely clicking on the down arrow. (Click here for details).

I was surprised to find three Google products I use on the list, which I went ahead and updated. Of course my list also had “Explorer 8” and because of the fiasco I had a few days ago with Explorer 8, I did not choose that update. After updating several selections I also found my P/C to be running faster, which was also a surprise, but it could also be because I was now using Firefox as my browser.

I invite you to check out these two applications because I have been using “CCleaner” for about three years without any problems and now I will continue to use the “Update Cleaner” to keep my P/C applications up to date.

Nothing more to add at this time.
