[QUOTE="SomeRandomCat, post: 928158, member: 90137"] I don't see anything wrong with it, especially since it is portable as you mentioned. Most programs now days have an auto-update feature (especially security software), so it really seems like a personal preference. One argument could be that you may have multiple software that you don't run very frequently (and thus the auto-update feature might not have a chance to run), and running a third-party update checker might be less work than manually opening all your different programs to check. I think its most beneficial for people that don't always have internet access, but I don't know what type of software that is often ran 'offline' and requires updates would really be these days. Edit: Actually, I tether my internet, so it wouldn't be a horrible idea to run something like this at the begining of the month when my data is reset, to save having to do it when I am being throttled, but then again there aren't that many software updates which use large amounts of data.
