Hi all........Perhaps most of you are familiar with this but.......a great site for keeping all your STUFF up to date. Cheers, Lyle
I've seen quite a few of those spread across the NET. Not that one in particular though I have to say.
The best way I found to stay up to date with all my programs is become a member of FileForum which is free you can then search for a app on there site and click "Add to Watch List" you then receive a email whenever there is a update to that specified program.
My current tracked program list which is every program I have. Today I received email about a update to Autoruns, Peerguardian & Firefox. Yesterday there was a update to nLite.

Calendar of Updates has moved to a new Server and its IP address has not propagated out to the DNS Servers so until it does then this is a good board to see application updates.
I use
- WinXP Home SP2 on my 2.4GHZ P4 system
- WinME on my 500MHZ Pentium III system
- Windows Defender on my 2.4GHZ P4 system
- WinPatrol I was so impressed with the Scotty watchdog I purchased the PLUS upgrade
- AVG Free anti virus it has never found anything
- HostsMan and HostsServer to manage hpHOSTS and MVPS HOSTS files
- APC Battery backup for my P4 system as there have been a few 10 second power blips here
- MWSnap for screen captures
Apart from my AV and spyware apps, I'm not really that bothered about updating the rest.
Before I switch off my PC at the end of the night, I run CCleaner and then go through my security programs one by one checking for updates. It takes about a minute, and is part of my "getting ready for bed" routine.
I always disable any auto update features. Call me paranoid, burt I hate applications just connecting at random (or otherwise) to the net without my explicit permission. Apart from anything else I might not want the update. No different than windows updates.
