metaquark.de— AppFresh is an utility that keeps all applications on your Mac up to date by checking the internet for new releases and makes downloading and installing them a breeze.

If AppFresh doesn't know of a direct download link, it opens a webpage with the application's homepage for you to locate the download link. The ads belong to these webpages, but we're working to improve the situation. It's certainly not intended that ads appear on your desktop, sorry.
Quite right Danny. Another Dashboard Widget I find very useful along the same lines is the Widget Update Widget (hmm, probably found in the Department of Redundancy Department) which does for widgets what Application Update does for..umm...Applications.Oddly enough, my reply to you is being dugg down while the "sorry wrong reply" in the next post is being dugg up. No accounting for taste I guess
CNET used to offer "oil change" or something for free and without any reason, they gave up. Bigfix,while it was focused on security/performance got bought out by Cisco and only cares about Enterprise now.There is always versiontracker pro but it needs yearly subcription and because the windows other language exes are different from each other, if you don't use american english os, you get it trouble.For system updates, Windows Update is way to go but the App updates should be done via own function. I don't recommend googling for such functionality and downloading first result because of obvious spyware reasons.
