An alternative to FileHippo's update checker.

Just tried this out and it isn't at all bad.

When you run it, it gives you the option to install it OR run it as a portable program.

When it shows updates it takes you to http://cleansofts.org/utorrent.html say for a new build of uTorrent, I was hoping it would direct you to the official site for a program.

It also has a tab where it suggests some alternatives programs to the programs its detected on your PC.

Well, it is always good to have decent alternatives to a program...
