Thank you for your help, I would not have found the problem without it, Best Wishes, Dave. Back to Windows 8 and Windows 8. Reply to quoted posts Clear. This can be useful if you don't want a program to update, for instance if it is a commercial program that you would have to buy a new license for to continue using it after the update.

Software installers are downloaded on the system and stored in the "My Filehippo Downloads" folder under Documents by default. This is useful as you don't need to re-download the installer should the installation fail, and may also be of use if you need to update multiple machines. You find several useful features in the settings. First, you may change the downloads folder there and switch the interface language and theme as well. What may be more interesting than that is the option to add custom scan locations there as well which can be useful if you have installed programs in custom locations.

FileHippo App Manager 2. There is no option to batch install updates or run updates silently. Compared to established programs like SUMo , it comes up a bit short in terms of programs it detects that updates are available for. Apps can be added, removed or ignored. The Lite version does not install any unwanted extra programs.

By the way, there is a lot of chance that developers inform you themselves about updates, or that programs check by themselves at set intervals… No need for more spyware and spam. What is more, a friend of mine signalled me once she had downloaded VLC from there, and her computer got infected with a nasty virus.

SUMo Lite does not auto run every day and auto install updates. I run the program about every 7 days. I never allow any program to auto update. This can lead to problems. I mean you have only got to look at Windows updates and the problems they can cause!!! Where do you get the idea that all programs such as this contain spy ware and spam???!!!!

Now, if you were talking about Win 10 telemetry and Cortana ……….. Read the other comments here, they confirm the same. No spyware? How and why did you think they collect their info about your softwares if not wading around in your computer? And no spam…? This was done before and it never ended well…. FileHippo used to be good and handy, but recently they went offline for a period of time, then they are back online but not the same. I use and love Glary. I use the FlashDisable Firefox extension to call up flash when a site requires it, but otherwise keep Flash disabled.

One huge recent disappointment with Glary: their search now uses Bing. I have therefore switched to Search Everything for searching my PC. I stopped using FileHippo.
