When you have lots of application installed on your Windows, it is a tough task to keep them updated as new updates are available frequently for popular programs. R-Updater is a very useful tool to keep your installed programs up-to-date. Upon installation R-Updater creates a list of installed programs and checks on a pre-scheduled time and notifies you if there are new program versions available.
When it detects a new version, it notifies the user that it is time to update the program. Then the user can click the program to be updated and receive a link to download the new version the program. If there are several programs for update, the users can mark all the application needed to be updated and do this through one action.

I’ve used CNET net tracker, and FileHippo’s update checker. And, I’m satisfied with neither.
