That being maximally five percent of what I have on-board, I am left to look after the other 95 % myself anyway. No spyware ? How and why did you think they collect their info about your softwares if not wading around in your computer ?Īnd no spam… ? I even got third party spam about SUMo and rantings about windows…īTW, what I forgot to say, but meanwhile other people mentioned it, is that it even is terribly inefficient in that Filehyppo gives you such ‘service’ only related to products they have in store. What I was saying : with almost 100% of softwares having a (legitimate) direct link to the developer’s website, and many having you on a mailing list, there is not one other logic behind third parties investing energy in such products, other than profiling and monetizing the wanderings of tourists on the www and collecting souvenirs. Where did you ‘get the idea that I was generalizing’ ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read the other comments here, they confirm the same.
Now You: How do you handle software updates on Windows?Ĭome on TJ, read the article : it’s about Filehyppo exclusively. Compared to established programs like SUMo, it comes up a bit short in terms of programs it detects that updates are available for.
There is no option to batch install updates or run updates silently. Closing WordsįileHippo App Manager 2.0Â is available as a beta currently and while it ran stable during tests, it is held back by missing functionality. 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. First, you may change the downloads folder there and switch the interface language and theme as well. You find several useful features in the settings.
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. Software installers are downloaded on the system and stored in the "My Filehippo Downloads" folder under Documents by default.
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. You can ignore updates in the program as well.
