I first used SUMo for my updating needs and found out that it was not so good at detecting updates. I am now using Software Informer and would like to find a good alternative.

Update Notifier is another great alternative. It is portable too. Secunia PSI is another one to try out if you also want to scan for known vulnerabilities.

Thanks Saikat. I think Update Notifier was just the thing.
