Automatic Upgrading/Updating

Hello,

I have several softwares that can be upgraded/updated from time to time. Some of them are connected automatically to their corresponding website and check for updates automatically;
i can be notified for the Downloading & Installation process or not, according to my congigurations.

Some other programs don't have this option (automatic checking for updates) and i have to check them manually from time to time.

My question is whether there are any programs that can keep track of all these softwares that can be occasionally updated, as far as the Downloading & Installing processes are concerned, a program to check for all the softwares if there are any updates available.

Thanks.

Nothing that I know of, but if you want, you can jot down when they were updated in a text file or on a piece of paper.

I know download.com used to have a program that would scan your computer for software installed and then let you know if there were updates. I couldnt find it but you might have better luck then I did Searching Download.com.
