Filehippo claims that they offer the best software available, worrying about quality and not about quantity, which is a welcome feature also. With the exception of games (there are other specialized sites for that category), at Filehippo.com you will find a lot of software sections for every task a computer can do.
Two main categories welcome the user at the top of the page: latest updates and most popular downloads. But the real treat will be to look at the following ones, were you will find web browsers and plug-ins, Anti malware programs, Audio and Video related software, as well as tools for file exchange, firewalls, Cd and Dvd applications, Office packages, file compressors, and many others.
A free Update Checker will check all the software you have installed in your computer, and make a report of the programs which are not completely updated. Filehippo will then give you back a list of the available latest versions for your system. This tool works for every version of Windows since 98 to Windows 7.
But at Filehippo.com, older versions are kept available also, so that if you don't like the latest one you can go back to the one you prefer. Also, you can browse using a filter that will search only for free software or will leave out beta versions from search results.
Although there is not much reading to do at Filehippo.com, the site is written in Spanish. Software names don't vary much anyway from one language to another, but if it becomes an obstacle, some web translator may come to your aid.
