What Software Updater is

Software Updater is a free Windows app that checks installed software versions against a database to identify newer releases. It displays programs needing updates in a browser, where users can download current versions, and lets them choose which updates to install or skip. The service says its catalog covers thousands of popular Windows applications, including Chrome, Firefox, Skype, iTunes, and Adobe Reader. A scheduler can run the app automatically in the background, and bulk app updates are supported. The listed price is free. Its EULA licenses use on one computer and limits use to non-commercial purposes. The download page lists version 1.18.1122.31 at 5.17MB and specifies PC use with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. The maker says it vets updates for malicious threats and describes the app as free of malware, adware, viruses, bundles, installers, and toolbars. TouchStoneSoftware.com offers free support. The privacy policy says the site collects information users submit and non-personal information such as URLs, browser, and IP address.
