The Download App is a free application from Download.com that helps keep the software on your Windows computer up-to-date, as well as clean up the junk that accumulates on your system over time. Using the software catalog that powers Download.com, the Download App provides secure, spyware-free software updates. The Download App scans your computer and notifies you when updates are available for the software you have installed. Software updates contain new features and patches that make your computer more secure. You can also use the Download App to remove unwanted software from your computer using the Uninstall feature, and clean up the junk files that might be slowing your computer down using the Utilities features. The Download App makes it easy to keep track of all your software updates in one place.
When using the Download App to update other software installed on your machine, you always have the option to automatically install the updates, or to choose manual installation, which gives you the opportunity to review and manually accept or decline any EULAs or third party offers included with the update.

You are never required to accept any offers in order to complete a download, but you will want to keep a close eye out to be sure you see and have a chance to select the decline or opt-out option for any third party offers you do not want.

Pros
Keeps your software up to date
Cons
Tells you to update programmes which are the current version sometimes. Keep reading as if you had the old one. AVG also logs the programme as containing virus ware.
