Upgrade apps easily

I use to upgrade my apps regularly….Firefox. Chrome, CCleaner and etc. Normally when upgrading apps, I have to go through annoyances such as not agreeing to install browser toolbars and other craps.

Well to ease your task, why not use Ninite. Ninite ( formerly was called Volery ) helps upgrade your apps in the background as you continue to do whatever it is you are doing at that moment………….:D

Among the apps Ninite will help upgrade are Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox, Skype, Live Messenger, Pidgin, Digsby, Google Talk, Thunderbird, Yahoo! Messenger, iTunes, Hulu Desktop, VLC, KMPlayer, AIMP, Winamp, Audicity, Spotify, Paint.NET, Picasa, GIMP, IrfanView, XnView, Inkscape, MS Office Trial, OpenOffice, Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, CutePDF, MS Security Essentials, Avast, AVG, Flash, Flash for IE, Java, .NET, Silverlight, uTorrent, eMule, Dropbox, Evernote, BumpTop, Steam, Google Earth, ImgBurn, CCleaner, Launchy, Revo, Dfraggler, RealVNC, CDBurnerXP, Recuva, 7-Zip, WinRAR, Python, FileZilla, Notepad++, Java Development Kit, WinSCP, PuTTY, and Eclipse.

After you have chosen what you need to upgrade at the website you will be prompted to download an installer.

Double click the installer you have downloaded, sit back ( or continue working on your PC ) and let Ninite do all the upgrades for you.

I came across this virus yesterday when one of my customers complaint that her computer hangs and the desktop doesn’t appear! I tried reinstalling her OS and it seems as though the problem was solved.

After a few reboots, I discovered that the anti virus software I have installed stopped working!
