There is just so much great free stuff on the internet these days. So I think the forums needs a thread to share it. Only rules is no games and most of all, no warez.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
http://www.malwarebytes.org
Very powerful, fast, and lightweight elite on-demand scanner. It will not conflict with A/V software.

SUPERAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com
Another powerful on-demand scanner. The detection rate surpasses that of Spybot and Ad-Aware.

Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit v2.1
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... px?id=1677
Nice little tool to help harden your system against many common threats. By applying different techniques to make successful attacks on your system more difficult.

Secunia PSI
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal
Scans your system for applications which are out of date. Provides everything upfront.

SlimDrivers
http://download.cnet.com/SlimDrivers-Fr ... 79940.html
Scan your PC for missing, broken or out of date drivers.

Foxit Reader
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/
One of the lightest PDF readers today. Foxit is by far more secure and faster over Adobe reader.

Combined Community Codec Pack
http://www.cccp-project.net
Simply the best codec pack there is. Works with any Windows OS and it will not junk up your system.

Foobar2000
http://www.foobar2000.org
The best music/audio player out there. Customizations you can do with your music is mind-boggling.

DOSBox
http://www.dosbox.com
Play and record old Dos games.

RocketDock
http://rocketdock.com
Customizable toolbar for Windows. Very low ram usage.

Free Video Converter
http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter
Convert video free to AVI, MP4, WMV, MKV, MPEG, SWF, 3GP, DVD, MP3, iPod, iPhone, PSP, Android, rip & burn DVD, convert FLV.

7-zip
http://www.7-zip.org
Recommend over Winzip and Winrar.

DiskGenius
http://www.diskgenius.net/download.html
Great tool to recover deleted or corrupted files.

Explorer++
http://www.explorerplusplus.com
Since Windows Explorer crashed and burned in Win7. I found this to be a better alternative.

Notepad++
http://notepad-plus-plus.org
Cleaner interface and gives you more functionality over Notepad.

Process Explorer
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... s/bb896653
Advanced alternative to Task Manager. Comes with a powerful kill switch if a program refuses to shut down. Such as malware!

GIMP - GNU Image Manipulation Program

Recommend over hacking Photoshop.. It is picture editing software with tons of tools and options

VLC - VLC media player
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Simply "Plays everything" (my personal must-have on any of my computers)
