File Hippo Update Checker
FileHippo.com has been a repository for available programs for awhile now. A lot of companies have been using it has an extra facility to distribute there software. They just realeased a peice of sotware that scans your computer and finds the version of every peice of software that matches one in there repository. Then it displays a nice interface to download every program it finds. I've been using it for a couple days and its really easy. You can customize it to check when you login and to then close. You can also set it to ignore certain programs.
Here is some information from the website.
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. Please note that not all programs are supported.
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!

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.
