WinApp_Manager is like the linux package manager, but for windows. It can update programs you already have installed and it's also possible to install other free programs.
It's Portable and Stealth but the applications it checks are limited, BUT, having looking around it seems easy to add more because it works a bit like WebVersions when updating the applications. As you can see below this is the .XML file for Skype, you edit the appropriate parts for the application you want to edit and Voila! it will check and update. The version checking is done with <VERSION url="http://www.filehippo.com/download_skype/" StartString="Skype " EndString=" - FileHippo.com" /> if this is changed to <VERSION url="http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/" StartString="uTorrent " EndString=" - FileHippo.com" /> and the rest is self explanatory.
