VersionTracker Pro

Publisher's Description

From CBS Interactive:

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.

Version 4.0 adds improved matching technology to provide faster scans and more accurate matches with the software and driver database; it also adds the ability to uninstall unwanted software with VersionTracker Pro.

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.

What's new in this version: Version 4.0 adds improved matching technology to provide faster scans and more accurate matches with the software and driver database, and also adds the ability to uninstall unwanted software from with VersionTracker Pro.

    "No Customer Service"

    January 21, 2009  |   By ruperth2001

    Version: VersionTracker Pro 4

    Pros

    There is absolutely no customer service. If you use their help pages, they do not respond. READ ON _ THIS PRODUCT CAN DAMAGE YOUR PC

    Cons

    Try flicking through the blog on their website, and looking at the comments from paid up customers who are fed up. Buy this product and you have wasted $30

    Summary

    This product flags up updates that don't exist. It flags older versions of software as an update. Some of the drivers it tries to update are incompatible with your version of windows. This product will cause your computer to crash and if it installs an incorrect motherboard driver, could cause serious damage to your PC. PLEASE CNET - remove this before it costs someone

    "Program caused blue screen of death"

    November 27, 2008  |   By eveningrain

    Version: VersionTracker Pro 4

    Pros

    I cannot trust this product since upon downloading 2 drivers, it caused my pc to have the blue screen of death twice.

    Cons

    The product scans for drivers that need updating on your system. Download can be from the Dell site or from the sofware manufacturer. I downloaded directly from the Dell site since I have a Dell PC and I had problems.

    Summary

    For me, not trustworthy for suggested drivers that are supposedly needed. I uninstalled the software after purchasing it and having used in but once.

    "My trust in CNET as an objective and truthful source has been diminished by this experience with the "free" Free Version Tracker download makes me lose faith in CNET."

    April 22, 2008  |   By Marpia

    Version: VersionTracker Pro 4

    Pros

    The CNET ad claims this software will scan the computer to detect all out of date software and out of date drivers. I assumed this meant I could actually see all of the results of this scan.

    Cons

    The advertising is deceptive. I'm a casual computer user and have trusted CNET to be a truthful objective source of information. This download is totally useless without purchasing the software. That's like being scammed. What else can't I trust from CNET?

    "Not what it's cut out to be"

    April 19, 2008  |   By lorissia

    Version: VersionTracker Pro 4

    Pros

    It looked great on the website

    Cons

    No support on the weekends, but you can buy it on the weekend.

    It doesn't connect. It won't download drivers. You can go through a link to manually download the drivers, and the pages won't load. You can write a review for a driver, but you can also get a database table error upon submitting. All in all, it acts more like beta than production version. Wondering how long it will be before they refund my money.

    "Fake SoftWare"

    April 18, 2008  |   By SkycapSnowshoe

    Version: VersionTracker Pro 4

    Cons

    I downloaded the free trial, Ran it, it said 11 of my drivers were outta date. Got the full version 5 minutes later, No drivers outta date. This is junk software. Selling sell you had for free a couple years is crap. Download.com used to be awesome, now like all great things, it comes to an end.

    "AVOID THIS SOFTWARE AT ALL COSTS"

    April 17, 2008  |   By painkiller951

    Version: VersionTracker Pro 4

    Pros

    It's Free to try so everyone can realise it is useless before they're conned into paying money for it.

    Cons

    Useless junk, Cnet Catchup was free & much better. Half the files downloaded by this program are corrupted, some downloads aren't even the right product.... it downloaded some dodgy registry cleaner instead of updating vista manager. Other files you have to download yourself.

    Downloads are slow and only go one at a time by default.

    Doesn't seem to update games like Cnet's Catchup did.

    Reports false updates.

    Doesn't ammend it's list after you have applied updates.
