FileHippo.com Update Checker

We're currently beta testing this exciting new addition to our website and have released it as a public beta for everyone to download.

Update Checker v1.023 FHSetup.exe (149kb) Download now Note: If you wish to download the standalone version without an installer then click here.

What is it?
The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases. These are then neatly displayed in your browser for you to download.

But it gets better...
The client is FREE, just over 100kb to download and only takes seconds to run! In fact on our test machines the process is complete in under 2 seconds!

What are the requirements?
The Update Checker works on any Windows PC running Vista, XP, 2003, 2000, ME or 98.
It requires that the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is installed, which you may download directly from here, or the installer will prompt and download it automatically.
