   I have a fairly comprehensive list at http://j44xm.notlong.com along with links to other lists and sites that I like. There’s a lot of good free software out there.

   AVG Anti-Virus is free program that has received great reviews and I have been using it for over a year now. It’s the best one out there. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

   I used AVG for a while and it’s fairly popular in the freeware community, but I’ve come to prefer avast! after hearing some unflattering results from AVG. My second choice is AntiVir. And for spyware, Ad-Aware is a must alongside Spybot.

   (Also, I should mention that my page is primarily a list of programs I’ve actually used and personal recommend, not just a big ol’ list of everything out there.)

   For FTP transfers and management, I use SmartFTP (http://www.smartftp.com)…

   I’m making an initiative to release free applications on my new site. Over the upcoming weeks I will be releasing more free applications (All of them 100% free from spyware or adware).

   You can check them out at my site:

   (Sorry for the shameless self promotion, but it’s in relation to this post) :)

   Hey, you missed Ad-Aware. That’s the best freeware anti-virus program.

   What about PSPad? Quite a kick-butt free text editor.

   Note that Ad-Aware isn’t an antivirus application, but an anti-spyware/-adware program.

    Great feedback.

    I totally forgot about Anti-Virus…my bad. I use AVG as well. I think that everyone should, so I forget that everyone doesn’t.

    As for spyware, I know many people love Ad-aware, and really, put on as many programs as you can to stop that annoying garbage software.

    Joseph, you are the reason that this site is here. You need to be edu-micated (educated) my friend. Ad-Aware is for Spyware and adware, not viruses, atleast last time I checked.

    And Doug, I have not tried PSPad, actually it is the first I have heard of it, but I will have to check it out.

    How about XnView (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enxnview.html) for Image Viewer, foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.com/) for Audio Player and Media Player Classic (http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/) or VLC (http://www.videolan.org) for Video Player. :)

    Among the pounds of freeware I’ve used over the years, one program stands out as indispensible: PowerPro (http://powerpro.webeddie.com).

    Behind this glitzless Web site is a program which has replaced at least a dozen utilities I used to run. Custom launch menus, run macros, schedule/automate events, virtual desktops, hot keys…the list goes on. Steep learning curve but incredible power–and quality programming.

    BS Player is nice and light but you get better image quality “out of the box” with Media Player Classic. I have both, but I always end up using MPC.

    I do not want to miss PhraseExpress anymore:

    PhraseExpress organizes frequently used text phrases and can paste it into *any* application.

    Meh, Konfabulator says it cross platform but doesn’t work on Linux. Oh well. Crimson Editor I’ve never heard of, but I’ve been looking for a good free text-highlighting program for ages! Thank you!
