Graphics | Internet | Multimedia | Security Programs | Spyware | System Tools | System Cleaners | Website Tools
| Irfan View | The Gimp - Multi-platform FREEWARE that is very comparible to Adobe Photoshop |
| Paint Shop Pro - Shareware | |
| Ad Muncher |
Ad Blocker for almost all internet apps - including applications
like Paltalk - NOT FREEWARE, AND IS REALLY UN-NEEDED IF YOU HAVE ADBLOCK PLUS and FIREFOX |
| FlashGet | Freeware (no spyware I can find) and very good Download manager. There is a plugin on the Firefox site "FlashGet" that adds "support" for Flashget to Firefox. |
| Mozilla Firefox |
Firefox has many, many plugins that only in the more later releases of other browsers even have similar options.
|
| Roboform | Form filler that can use the same
presaved information on Mozilla, IE (and IE Clones), and Firefox
- BETTER THEN "GATOR" AND SPYWARE FREE (Opera is not supported) |
| Pidgen | Chat/IM Client for Multiple Networks (ICQ, Yahoo!, MSN, AIM) |
| Yahelite |
The BEST Yahoo Chat Client (blocks many spam bots and booters... but not all (still more booters blocked then other clients.. especially when some client's Creators have admitted to CREATING bots (hey .. its easy to know the code to block bots with .... when YOUR THE ONE CREATING THEM ! ) . This is a must have for anyone who uses yahoo chat rooms |
DVD Related
| 2.4 | Burner, ISO program, | |
| 4.1 | Ripper, editor (edit out language tracks like "French", or even subtitles), and Burner | |
| 1.3x | Editor (Not for the "new" user) - removes more data than just "blanking section" in a program like DVD Shrink. |
(click here for more detail description of DVD Related Software)
Media Players
| Jet Audio Pro | Winamp | Media Player Classic |
|
GOM Player -
(assuming you have the proper codecs ..) .. This is a recent find and is my favorite Video Player. I do feel sorry for the people who downloaded the now spyware "BSPlayer" since i recommended that freeware before they added the spyware to it |

Security Tools - AntiVirus/Anti-trojan
| Avira | I think any of the 3 free antiviruses are better then Norton, and Mcafee; but i do note that this one is my favorite of the three. It has been moving up the list of overall antiviruses (How well it detects, the Easy of use ...etc) as well and has consistantly been rated in the top 3 or 4 (in alot of ratings, AVG and AVAST are around 6 or 7 |
| Eset NOD32 3.x/4.x | The BEST anti-virus scanner available. Anti-virus that detection wise, this is the one that knocked (for about a year now) Kaspersky off the top of the antivirus market as far as how good it is. |
| Kaspersky | Use to be the best and still is one of the best antiviruses on the market today
|
Security Tools - Cache Cleaners/Temp file Cleaners (freewares)
| Overall System and File Cleaner that is MILES ahead of alot of these "internet sweeper" and "Evidence eliminator" type program. | |
| Cleanup |
Great tool, that works on mainly on
IE, but I think Firefox support was now added/improved with the
most recent releases and constant updates for continued
support... like Window Washer, its  not the flashiest program...
IT JUST WORKS |
| Eraser | File Wiper, that after many checks, ACTUALLY WIPES directories and files, and doesn't just act like it does, like some expensive wipers do... the fact that its Free, is even better |
|
Spyware Doctor -
THE ONLY NON-FREE SPYWARE SCANNER I RECOMMEND |
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware - Suprising good freeware .. detects alot better then other scanners on the market |
| 7zip | Very Good and freeware compression tool that supports zipping, 7zipping, and extracts MANY formats |
| Directory Opus | GREAT Windows Explorer Replacement ... I LOVE THIS program |
| Double Killer | This is a duplicate finder that I recently descovered through Pcworld.com. It uses several comparisons (filesize, CRC32 , etc) to compare files. I am using this instead of PixScan Lite for finding duplicates of images. Do NOT get me wrong, this works on all file types.... like some other applications I recommend, I do not use this "all the time", but the times I do use it |
| Easy Cleaner for 2k/XP | Overall System Utility program that includes a file cleaner. shortcut cleaner. duplicate finder, and more. ... I have not really used this tool since I installed JV16 Power Tools |
| ImgBurn | CD/DVD Burner ... although I have had some issues with DVDs not playing right... to be sure I would stick with Nero for DVD copying. ...it may or may not work with every burner |
| JV16 Power Tools (Reg Cleaner by JV16 ) |
(last freeware Jv16 Power
Tools HERE) ...
RegCleaner (last freeware) THE BEST REGISTRY CLEANER and overall system utility I have ever used... THIS IS A MUST TRY. .. This programs is no longer freeware, but the links above are to the last two freeware versions .. . "Reg Cleaner" just outgrew its name for the features that were being added so the name changed to JV16 Power Tools |
| Winrar | The BEST and FASTEST, file archiver, bar-none |
|
Dreamweaver - The Best Web
Editor/Designer/Coder Program on the web |
CSE HTML Validator - Great Website Syntax Checker that catches many many mistakes in coding
that other syntax checkers misses |
Top Styles Pro 4 - Great program for site coding/checking/and optimizating ... A must
have for anyone doing CSS, ... like me
 |

This is Microsoft Internet Explorer's main competitition and to be honest its the only browser I use regularly
CCleaner
