FileHippo App Manager

FileHippo App Manager is a free software program that searches your computer for old and outdated software. It does so by comparing the versions of the programs installed on your computer against FileHippo.com's software catalog. You are then able to download the most recent version of a program to your own computer directly from the FileHippo program and run its installer. This means that the program downloads the new files without having to go to another program or website; it just does it "in-house." Downloaded installers are saved in the "My Filehippo Downloads" folder under Documents by default, so they can be reused if an installation fails. The update display is customizable. This includes Display Options that control whether beta versions are included in the results, and the list of programs with available updates can be sorted. Updates that you do not want, for example a new paid version of a commercial program, can be moved to the Ignored Updates list. And you can add custom scan locations within the FileHippo App Manager so the program also finds applications installed in non-standard folders. The FileHippo App Manager is simple to set up and manage for any level of computer user. It scans the system on startup and has Background Scanning settings, and the settings also cover the download folder, interface language and proxy options for the connection. Once it is set up, you only need to review the list when new versions appear. The installation of the program is quick with a small download size, and the installer comes without third-party offers, although the program window shows a banner ad. The application also lists beta versions of many programs. While you are not able to download in batches or install updates silently, you do have the Download & Run option, which downloads each program individually and starts its installer immediately once the download is completed. Version 2.0 never left beta, the program is no longer developed, and current copies report that they failed to download program definitions because the FileHippo update service is no longer available.
