In their own words
Avira Software Updater
Avira Software Updater scans Windows computers for outdated software and helps users obtain updates. Avira says it manages patches for more than 150 programs and also handles drivers. The free version identifies outdated programs and links to updates on publishers’ websites. Pro can automatically download and install selected software, app and driver updates, including silently. Avira lists Windows operating system updates, automatic exploit protection, priority access to updates, customer support and no ads among Pro features. The product is for Windows 7 SP1 and later. Avira says current software can help address vulnerabilities and current drivers can support system stability and hardware performance. Some updates may not install if a software maker blocks third-party update initiation or releases updates gradually. The free version is included in Avira Free Security, while Pro is included in Avira Internet Security. Standalone Pro plans are listed for one PC, monthly and annually, but their prices display as “loading...” rather than amounts. The annual plan includes a 60-day money-back guarantee.
