Whether you are keeping a home PC up-to-date or you're an IT professional, VersionTracker Pro--a new CNET service--delivers all the information you need to make the right decision on updating your drivers and software.

VersionTracker Pro checks your installed drivers and software against an online database and offers upgrade details, compatibility, ratings and reviews, and download links. VersionTracker Pro lets you quickly manage the software you care about and the drivers you need.

Start by running your free scan to see a complete list of your drivers and software and all available updates. After purchasing VersionTracker Pro you can begin downloading every update you need, and you'll always be the first to know when upgrades for your drivers and software are available.

Updates to version 4.1 include the following: improvements to free trial scan so users have to ability to click through the interface and view information on individual software and drivers that are out of date; improved matching with Dell configurations - more accurately identifies Dell hardware specifications to refine scan results; and fixing a bug that would cause version 4.0 to crash when applications containing Unicode characters were scanned.

Note: CNET acquired VersionTracker Pro in September 2007, As we continue to develop the software, we would like ideas and feedback from you.

With this dialog in mind, we have created an open discussion in the CNET forums. Please direct your suggestions, comments, and questions about VersionTracker Pro to this forum discussion, where the development team, CNET editors, and other customers will be contributing to the conversation.

  VersionTracker Pro

  Probably the highest rating..

  Pros: Now I can say that VesionTracker has changed their definition of the word "trial", now, I have the ability to update one driver or program which is a nice thing.

  Cons: Something is missing, I mean It is still not perfect yet. Looking for the next version.

  No worth $30

  Pros: It does what it says. There is some novelty in having it all in one place.

  Cons: Not sure how useful this is. Windows has a lot of the drive update functionality built into Windows update. Where Microsoft apps involved those are handled by Windows Update as well. There is no shortage of third party apps with built in update functionality. Too much over lap to warrant %30 in my opinion.

  For IT Professionals?

  Cons: Just a tedious time waster, by making you pay before you use it. Bad thing is that you don't even get to see which software may be outdated. Just a whole list of red and greens. Trust, you wouldn't want to use it. Who knows? Maybe false positives are included too.

  I also see this software as kind of biased. I say this because it said "improved configuration" for Dell PCs.

  Some software it is. -.-

  no big deal

  by: maidensolo on 08-Jul-2008 09:56:30 PM

  Pros: it tells you what's out of date with your hardware and software after scanning. But if looks to me like you have to buy it if you want anything other than a list of outdated programs.
