SSDownloader Takes Out the Pain of Downloading PC Fix-it Tools

Are you the lucky “computer guy” or girl among your posse of friends, or your family members? If you’re like me, you probably don’t mind that denotation so much, but it’s the fact that any problems that arise tend to be very time-consuming, tedious, and not to mention… boring. Well, there are a few things you could do to ease the pain of hopping on someone’s PC to fix problems, and a good one is a software tool called SSDownloader.

The folks at Download Squad brought this one to my attention, and all I could think of when I saw it was, “What? Finally!”, because it does have that allure of being so helpful, that it might actually take away some of the sting of having to fix someone’s computer. One of the things I hate most about buckling down to remedy a rig is the process of going to find updated versions of all the applications I need, namely virus and malware scanners.

The problem here is twofold. You could keep installers on a thumb drive if you like, but within a week or two, the definitions are out-of-date. Or, wait even longer, and the entire program can be out of date, making the version you have less-than-desirable to use. Then there’s the fact that it’s never a simple process to actually download these tools in the first place, because sometimes you are required to sign up for an account, and other times you have to jump through hoops, and multiple websites, just to reach the ultimate download destination.

That’s where the entire purpose of SSDownloader comes into play. Upon launching, it will automatically update itself with an up-to-date listing of a variety of tools, from anti-malware to firewalls, in order to help you get what you need, quickly. You simply click on each tool you want, then “Download”, and wait for them to do just that and you can be on your way.

Sounds good to me… anything to make fixing someone’s PC even less of a hassle. I’ll be downloading this and throwing it on a thumb drive soon, but that won’t stop me from hoping that I won’t be called to “active duty” anytime soon.
