It operates in the background to <strong>automatically keep your applications up-to-date,<\/strong> so that you never miss a critical release that might bring more stability to your machine, or offer enhanced features.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iobit-software-updater.en.softonic.com\/windows\/redirect-download?utm_medium=redirection&amp;utm_source=iobit.com&amp;utm_campaign=softwareupdater\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-150906\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,q_auto:good,w_700\/v1586877143\/editorial\/3._Updated.webp\" alt=\"Software Updater\" width=\"700\" height=\"462\"><\/a><span class=\"s1\">IObit Software Updater also ensures that <strong>any new software you download is a correct and clean version for your operating system<\/strong> \u2013 and not a version that might be a scam or one filled with ads or bundleware. The program also helps you navigate the complicated world of software options by categorizing trusted downloads into distinct categories. So, instead of combing the web and reading dozens of reviews, you can simply pull up the category in IObit Software Updater (for example, for social, multimedia or remote work tools) and download the program that sounds best for your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iobit-software-updater.en.softonic.com\/windows\/redirect-download?utm_medium=redirection&amp;utm_source=iobit.com&amp;utm_campaign=softwareupdater\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-150904\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,q_auto:good,w_700\/v1586876823\/editorial\/5._Social.webp\" alt=\"software updater\" width=\"700\" height=\"462\"><\/a><span class=\"s1\">Finally, IObit Software Updater allows you <strong>full control over which programs are auto-updated and which aren&#8217;t.<\/strong> This allows you to keep a version of a program that might suit your needs better than a newer option, while choosing to have the very latest releases of other programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iobit-software-updater.en.softonic.com\/windows\/redirect-download?utm_medium=redirection&amp;utm_source=iobit.com&amp;utm_campaign=softwareupdater\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-150902\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,q_auto:good,w_700\/v1586876921\/editorial\/9._Installed.webp\" alt=\"software updater\" width=\"700\" height=\"462\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What&#8217;s new?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When IObit Software Updater was last updated to version 2, it included a 180% increase in the amount of software it could monitor, download and keep up to date. Now, with the release of IObit Software Updater 3, <strong>this database has been increased another 150% \u2013 meaning that the program&#8217;s capabilities have increased over 300% since its initial release.<\/strong> This is quite a commitment for a company to make in a free software tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Also improved in this version is the amount of time it takes to download new programs and updates. This too has been ramped up by 150% over version two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iobit-software-updater.en.softonic.com\/windows\/redirect-download?utm_medium=redirection&amp;utm_source=iobit.com&amp;utm_campaign=softwareupdater\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-150905\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,q_auto:good,w_700\/v1586877077\/editorial\/2._Updating.webp\" alt=\"Software Updater\" width=\"700\" height=\"462\"><\/a><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIObit Software Updater 3 is a very light and simple tool for those who want to install or update software for their Windows computers\u201d, said Bing Wang, Product Director at IObit. \u201cThrough the program, <strong>users can get the most popular software with a few clicks.<\/strong> IObit Software Updater 3 saves users\u2019 time and effort and keeps their computer away from bundleware, infected installers, and annoying ads while installing or updating software.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/v1586877414\/editorial\/IObit_Software_Updater_3__Logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Keep all your software current with safe, automatic downloads from IObit Software Updater<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/iobit-software-updater.en.softonic.com\/windows\/redirect-download?utm_medium=redirection&amp;utm_source=iobit.com&amp;utm_campaign=softwareupdater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Download For Free<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/iobit-software-updater.en.softonic.com\/windows\/redirect-download?utm_medium=redirection&amp;utm_source=iobit.com&amp;utm_campaign=softwareupdater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While IObit Software Updater 3 is quite robust as freeware,<strong> users can also upgrade to a paid option<\/strong> for a discounted price of $10.00.
