VerCheck Version Change Detector Description
Since even your operating system is basically a collection of programs and services that work together, it is only natural that your computer has a large number of applications installed at any given time.
These programs can range from media players and Internet browsers, all the way to professional image editors and development platforms. Regardless of their purposes, they all need to be kept updated to the latest version to ensure adequate performance ratings and increased security.
Check for updates to the most popular applications
VerCheck Version Change Detector is a software utility that enables you to keep every application on your computer up to date with the newest changes and patches released by the developers. After the installation, you can view a list of programs that are already included in the update list, to get you started and show you a few examples.
These applications can be easily removed from the list if you do not have them installed on your system, but chances are you might find many familiar names, including Internet browsers, email clients and archive managers. They are arranged in alphabetical order, to allow you to easily browse through them and quickly find what you are looking for.
Add your own applications and remove the unwanted ones
Although many of the utilities in the provided list are very popular, you may not use all of them and find the list to be to cluttered, especially since VerCheck Version Change Detector needs to check every single one of them for updates, which could prove to be too time consuming. Because of this, you are allowed to remove any application you do not use and even add new ones that are not in the list.
To add a new program, you need to enter its name, current version, release date, description and website URL. This is because the application does not actually check the program itself for updates, it just compares the version you enter with the one it finds at the provided URL address. It is a simple, but effective method, that does not use many system resources and does not interact with the actual applications, so you can be certain it cannot damage your files.
Closing arguments
VerCheck Version Change Detector is a handy utility to have around on your computer, especially if you use a large number of applications on a daily basis and you need to keep them updated without having to constantly check their websites for changes.
The user interface is lightweight and straightforward, with intuitive buttons and a couple of different skins to customize the appearance of the program, depending on your personal preferences.
