The available tab may cause some confusion initially. You may repeat the process for any other application with updates. Programs that were updated successfully are displayed with a green background and a checkmark icon. There is no option currently to install updates silently though. The install button becomes available then, and will trigger the installation of the program on the system if activated. Once done, UCheck changes the background of the listing to purple to indicate that the latest version has been downloaded. If you see a download and install button, hit download first to download the latest program version from the Internet. Most programs feature a download and install button, and some a website-only button. The page lists the old and new program version, as well as the release date of the latest version that is in UCheck's database. You can switch to the updates tab to list all programs for which updates were found. While limited, it does support some of the biggest names in the software world including Firefox, Opera, Skype, VLC Media Player, Adobe Flash, GIMP, or Java. One reason for that is the program's relatively small database of programs that it supports in that initial version. It is quite fast when it comes to listing all installed software, and updates for supported programs. The start page lists an option to scan the system for outdated programs, and to check for updates for UCheck itself. The program is relatively easy to use once you understand what it has been designed for. The free version is offered as an installer, and as a portable version for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. The program has been created by the author of RogueKiller Anti-Malware, a popular program to detect and remove malware and advanced security threats such as rootkits or worms. Software update monitors like SUMo, are designed to take pressure off of users by checking for updates automatically. This puts users of the operating system in a difficult spot when it comes to software updates. Programs may ship with their own, unique, way of checking for updates, and downloading and installing updates, but not all offer that option. Windows, apart from apps that come from Windows Store, does not ship with options to download software or update installed programs from a central repository.
