Software Updates Week 18

Another busy week with lots of software updates has ended today and I really don’t know where to begin. Many applications that I use on a daily basis have been updated again and it becomes harder keeping track of all the updates.

This week was incredible and I had some troubles picking the right software for the update of the week spot. I decided to give it to Unlocker this time, an invaluable tool that saved me many times from smashing my keyboard at the nearest wall because Windows did not want to delete a file that definitely was not in use anymore insisting that it was still in use.

As always, if you know of an update that is not in this list let me know about it and I will make sure that it will be included if it is a good fit.
