I know you are keeping your computer up to date by running Windows Updates or Microsoft Updates, right? Of course you are. Running updates keeps your computer safe, secure, and running at its best (usually).
The problem, running Windows or MS updates will only update the operating system and Microsoft programs. So how do you keep all other programs up-to-date?
You can manually check each program and its website which could take hours.
or…
You can use FileHippo Update Checker.
Update Checker is free, fast, and effective. Download Update Checker at: http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/

Almost every one has heard of and used Adobe Reader for viewing PDF documents. But if you want to edit or type in PDF forms and documtens, you will have to buy Adobe Acrobat Professional for about $450. OUCH!
There is an alternative to spending hundreds of dollars for a PDF reader/editor–PDF XChange Viewer. It’s free!
Here are some of the features:
* Add Comments and Annotations to any PDF file (subject to security settings) - unlike the Adobe Viewer which requires the PDF creation tool to be ‘certified’ by Adobe !
* Mark-up pages with text and objects
* Type directly on any PDF page, not just Adobe enabled forms documents - in Typewriter mode.
* Export PDF pages or entire files to any one of the supported Image formats including BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PNG and many more …
* Extract text from a PDF page/File
* Make your navigation of large or complex PDF files both simple and enjoyable with the extended functionality of our ‘Loupe’ and the ‘Pan’ Window tools
* Fill and Save Adobe Forms to disk, email or ‘post’ !
* Plug-Ins for both MS IE or Firefox Browser’s included
* Portable version also available - can be run from any suitable device such as a Memory stick/CD/DVD etc - simply unzip and use - no installation required! And many more features such as Rotate and ‘Save’, Email files etc …
My favorite thing about PDF XChange Viewer is the ability to fill in forms. I don’t like downloading and printing a PDF form to be filled in by hand. PDF XChange Viewer allows me to fill in any PDF form.
