Essential Freeware - I Highly Recommend these programs.

    Remember to support these programmers as much as you can as soon as you can. Most of the pages below have links for sending donations, etc.
  • Aptana Studio Professional
    "Aptana Studio is a complete web development environment that combines powerful authoring tools with a collection of online hosting and collaboration services that help you and your team do more."
  • Crap Cleaner - Piriform Ltd.
    "CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less that a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)"
  • Defraggler - Piriform Ltd.
    "It differs from other defrag tools on the market, by enabling you to quickly and simply defrag the files you want to, without having to process the whole drive. Simply run it, select the file and defragment in seconds. No more struggling with the Windows defragmentation tool!"
  • Eraser
    "Eraser is an advanced security tool (for Windows), which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns."
  • Glary Utilities
    "Glary Utilities is the #1 free, powerful and all-in-one utility in the world market! It offers numerous powerful and easy-to-use system tools and utilities to fix, speed up, maintain and protect your PC."
  • HTML-Kit and HTML-Kit Tools
    "Multi-purpose development environment and other resources for web developers."
  • KeePass Password Safe
    "Keep all your confidential account information in one, organized, location. KeePass is truly "cross-platform," with versions for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, PocketPC, Blackberry - and others. It's been keeping me organized for a couple of years now and I Highly Recommend it. Once you create the password database, be sure to Back It Up!
  • Notepad++
    "Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. It runs in the MS Windows environment."
    Note: Get the plugins too! I especially like the "FTP_synchronize," "HTMLTag," and "TextFX" plugins, but they're all very useful.
  • PortableApps
    Offers a suite of portable applications for your USB flash drive. Note: you can also install these into a subdirectory on your hard drive if you choose. My favorite portable applications are FileZilla, KeePass, Audacity and Mozilla Firefox. My USB thumb drive is loaded with this application suite and a long list of specialty utilities and applications.
  • Recuva - Piriform Ltd.
    "Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!"
  • Rename Master
    It's fast, it's free and it's probably the only file renaming utility you will ever need. I found it today via a search at SnapFiles and promptly uninstalled two other renaming utilities that I've been using for a couple of years. - MCB, 04.21.2005
  • Sizer
    The author's description says it all!
    "Sizer is a freeware utility that allows you to resize any window to an exact, predefined size. This is extremely useful when designing web pages, as it allows you to see how the page will look when viewed at a smaller size. The utility is also handy when compiling screen-shots for documentation, using Sizer allows you to easily maintain the same window size across screen grabs."
  • STG (SNMP Traffic Grapher)
    "This freeware utility allows monitoring of supporting SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c devices including Cisco, Livingstone, Riverstone etc."
  • SpyBot Search and Destroy
    Safely and effectively remove Spyware, Adware and Malware from your computer. Then immunize your system against future infection!
  • Weather Pulse
    "Display popular Satellite images and video from around the globe, share images with your friends and family, stay updated on current and expected weather conditions, it's just plain fun!"
  • Wireshark
    Formerly "Ethereal," - this is a very good network protocol analyzer.
  • Xenu
