Favorite Free Software Programs • Iceows - Archiver [like WinZip] • Loads of freeware archivers [like WinZip or WinRAR] posted here. • Wizmo (Windows Gizmo) -
Stand-alone app by Steve Gibson. Does simple stuff like turn off your monitor, shutdown your computer, standby, eject/unmount, etc. All done through software commands. • UltraFXP - FTP client, Recommended by Krist Byrne. He says, " I've used many FTP clients over the years. This one seems best. The guys developing it used to charge for it, got in some court case and had to offer it for free. I don't know if they still update it, but the version I have, 1.07, is uber-stable. • SIW (System Information for Windows) - System info tool. Blows others (like the Belarc Advisor) out of the water. Doesn't even need to be installed. I've never needed any system-info it couldn't find for me. Awesome proggie. (thx SH) • Firefox - Browser (like Internet Explorer). This is the browser-only component of Mozilla. Lean and mean. Called a "Next-generation browser". Worth familiarizing yourself with. Could become very popular. See here.
• Avant Browser - Web browser (like Internet Explorer). I can tell from my web logs that many people use this browser to surf the Net. It actually uses certain installed parts of Internet Explorer, so it already knows your preferences and passwords. It already has a following. Worth looking into. • Latest update (28apr2004): Deleted CamStudio (bought by Macromedia, who changed the named to RoboDemo, now US$600), and Aida32 (now a stripped-down version called Everest). Everest Pro is US$30. [Thanks, James.]
• DivX - Only the player is free, but contains spyware. |
