nice blog!! instead of Adobe Reader, try Foxit pdf reader. It's more faster and smaller.
Well some of the stuff like the yahoo and others will have you doing a reinstall of your windows just because its freeware donesn't mean its not bad. After all its not open source and you have like 3 programs for spyware this will slow the best systems down spybot and programs like that are usually cover by a real antivirus so i would give MacAfee a try Free is not always good! Your machine will be dead soon!
you should include Konfabulator on the list. An incredibly uselful little widget driven tool - a lot of things like calendar, reminders, stickies, clocks, battery meters, weather, gmail-alerts u name it! Used to be a subscription service, free since yahoo aquired it.
oops.. I'll learn to read more carefully. I promise :P
In response to Derek, I'm not sure that I would go with McAffee over Avast. I've used both, and avast is MUCH more lightweight while still catching eveything I've tested. It also catches some spyware, though it is not sold as a spyware scanner. What I really like about avast though is that is has 7 different "providers" which are basically like firewalled proxies to your different network services. Each "provider" can be started or stopped independently, so you only use the ones you need.
FeedDemon is not FREEWARE.
If you try to download it can you see the word "trial"??
I used it and it's a really good software but not free
Sorry for the mistake. Have updated the list and added free RSS Readers
HEHE... NICE LIST OF APPLICATIONS FOR A NEW COMPUTER, BUT ILL BE HONEST WITH YOU, THOUGH THE SOFTWARE IS FREE AND ALL, ITS NOT ALL GUARENTEED TO WORK. I PERSONALLY DONT EVEN USE HALF OF THAT STUFF... JUST KEEP THE COMPUTER SIMPLE. ONE THING I'VE NOTICED IS THAT MICROSOFT ALWAYS SEEMS TO WORK BEST WITH THEIR OWN SOFTWARE... SO JUST STICK TO DDL'ING WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, WINDOWS ANTI-SPYWARE, AND PWRTOYS' N STUFF FROM THEM. THEN DDL ANY OTHER APPS THAT MEET UR SPECS. BUT HAVING EVERYTHING ON UR LIST INSTALLED ON UR COMPUTER IS LIKE A WASTE OF CPU THREADING. FOR ALL I KNOW, IF UR JUST A BASIC USER, DONT USE EVERYTHING ON THE LIST, JUST THE ONES YOU NEED.
abe, we know that we dont need all that stuff.... (and turn your CAPS off)
I'd add foobar 2000 ( http://www.foobar2000.org/ ) music player - i prefer it over winamp and itunes, realy good app
Yeah the quicktime real and divx installs are real bulky I would go with VLC Player it plays practacally everything. and it looks like it plays quicktime and real too. But just incase it doesn't real alterantive and quicktime alternative are much better freeware
hi bunsal,
nice list. check out my list which i had put up at my blog. MSN and yahoo msngr r really cool. But there is a hype that Google is coming out with its own version of IM. Let's hope for the best.
Keep up the good job bunsal.
You forgot VLC Media Player and Quicktime Alternative!
Foobar2000 is a far superior music player than either iTunes or Winamp.
Skip the real player and use real alternative instead. I still don't trust real after all the crap they have pulled in the past!
For unix users who miss utilities like find and grep, the cygwin tools are indispensible . There's nothing like the magic of being able to do du -sm * | sort -n to find sort files and folders by size.
Most of this software I use everyday and it works a lot better than the free software on a new PC. Most of the free software that comes on a new PC is garbage, and I recommend to all my customers is to remove it. These apps work without the bloatware/spy-ware/add-ware than many of the other so-called free applications have. I also have a list of free software and repair utilties so check them out at homtechsol
I like Chaos Manager a freeware organizer with a simple and easy look and feel.
http://www.chaosmanager.net/
First, your commenter Derek is a complete tool. MacAffee and Norton Antivirus are two of the biggest POS bloatware programs anywhere, and the Yahoo! and Google programs are some of the most widely used, and useful, anywhere. they're successfully working on millions of computers.
Second, For an rss reader/podcatcher try Happyfish beta. www.thirstycrow.net
Third, never take advice from ANYONE LIKE ABE, WHO TYPES IN ALL CAPS.
Fourth here's a list of other apps:
Smart FTP
DeepBurner cd/dvd burner freeware
Microsoft antispyware beta
Airsnare (wifi packet tracker)
ASAP utilities for msoffice
Azureus p2p bittorrent client
Cute pdf Writer
Ultimate Boot CD
You can also output pdf files directly from OpenOffice.org (versions from 1.1.4 and upwards...)
shaner
http://coupleofdonkeys.blogspot.com/
I would recommend BitComet(www.bitcomet.com) as a bittorrent client and Klipfolio (www.serence.com) as an RSS reader.
If you have Konfabulator on the list, you should take a look at Kapsules.
Nice list. There's a similar list with more detail at http://nedwolf.com/freeware.htm
Good list! I would recommend Gaim which is an open source internet messaging program that handles AIM, Yahoo, MSN, IRC, ICQ, and other protocols. The layout is similar to Trillian but the interface is a lot cleaner and there's tabbed messenger windows which is really nice. Gaim runs on Linux, Windows, and some handhelds. Check it out!
I can't live without TclockEx
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,6122,00.asp
A few more freeware applications I find essential:
Metapad - Almost at light-weight as Notepad, but with quite a few more features.
IrfanView - Lightweight image viewer; also great for quick resizing and cropping
Nice list, but I would never be without 7-ZIP. Its a great zipper-unzipper for almost ant and all file formats.
thanks for the widget reminder, I forgot yahoo had that now.
Nice compilation. This has inspired me to create my own list.
what about CCleaner?
it will remove all temp files usage statistics and the like
Try MediaMonkey. It's a cool audio manager/player if you have massive collection of songs.
That nedwolf freeware link is foobarred. Try http://nedwolf.com/freeware.htm
Although it's not "free" anymore, you have to pay to download from PCMag, I find the most important app for me is CookieCop. Yes Firefox/Adblock do a great job, but most importantly, I can block ALL of the sites that pass out ad/spy-ware and the like. It's getting older and here are a few things that get by it now, but it is still my fav.
I have a much larger list with a lot more categories that my only-microsoft-knowing coworkers found to be amazing:
http://www.botsko.net/wiki/index.php/Other:FOSS
Try McAfee? Wow, thats got to be the worst suggestion of all time. McAfee is a complete pile of garbage. AVG is easily as good if not better than any commercial antivirus app.
Thunderbird supports RSS out of the box btw, not via extensions.
Hey, nice list of apps,everyone should know about these.
fantababy mentioned a google im. i heard that they plan on buying "Meetro" (www.meetro.com)
its still really in the beta, but if google buys it it'll be so awesome. check it out, its not exactly just an instant messenger.
good blog, im going to check out some of these apps.
Nice list. I like the universal coverage, and not just sticking to a few basic apps. Hey derek, do you possibly work for symantec or macafee? Remeber macafee used to be free.

Check out www.theopencd.org.
It's a showcase of the best opensource software out there, nicely presented on an ISO CD image. It includes the best of the apps you have mentioned.
I have given it to a couple of my friends with new computers.
Very good and useful.
Thank you!
Just got a new laptop - great list!
hey your forgetting things like Quicktime Alternative, Real Alternative, and All-codecs-in-1.exe all from www.free-codecs.com
really nice... if its in the list and I missed it I aplologize...
A bunch of this software isn't the best version avaliable (its commercial software that's been stripped to make a free version). If you want real free software for all kinds of purposes check out the open source software for windows project:
P.S. I couldn't get the free version of the k-lite codecs without registering on some filesharing site (which i believe costs money).
Previous link didn't work...
Its
http://osswin.sourceforge.net/
or
SpaceMonger is an awesome, tiny and free program for visualizing your hard disk usage and free space. Essential for when you need to trim the fat and can't decide what to delete.
May I recommend these:
FileZilla (open source FTP client)
ClamWin (open source antivirus for windows)
Great list! As someone else said, SpaceMonger is great for viewing what files are eating your hard drive. I also highly recommend SyncNotes as a stickies program - www.syncnotes.com - install it on several machines and it'll sync your sticky notes between them, and you can update them from the web.
Good list, but I hate bloatware:
Security
AntiVir - No-frills, solid antivirus.
Internet
FeedReader - Open-source RSS news reader. Simple, lightweight (1.5MB and no .NET Framework crap needed), free and customizable. Owns the competition, any day.
Miranda IM - Open-source multi protocol instant messenger client (ICQ, AIM, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo, Gadu-Gadu, Tlen, Netsend and other protocols). Simple, lightweight (943 KB), free.
VoipBuster - Internet telephony (1.8MB)
Multimedia
XMPlay - audio player. Simple, free and lightweight (316 KB).
ADB2 - converts DVD to XviD video with Ogg Vorbis audio.
VLC and the Codec Pack don't work together or anything. VLC will play anything without the Codec pack, and the Codec Pack will enable media player or any other player to play everything.
Personally, the codec pack is a mess. I'd stick with VLC alone and install a single codec if you do find some obscure format that VLC can't play.
Excellent post. May I add Crimson editor, an excellent text editor, more like a programmer's editor.
Good Collection. May I add Crimson Editor, Excellent Text editor.
try "thesage" instead of wordweb.
A good alternative to Zone Alarm Firewall / Kerio Personal Firewall is Sygate Personal Firewall which is also free. Just my 2 cents :)
Keep up the good work. I appreciate it when someone takes the time to do this for others. I also like the following programs, but check to see if they are still freeware:
1. syncback- for backing up files
2. eazyvcd- to backup dvd's
3. virtualdub- to edit movie clips
4. flyakiteosx- make your pc look
like a mac all in one program (not really "essential")
5. google earth- aerial view of the entire world
6. Intellisync for Yahoo and MSN- keeps your outlook address book and to do list in sync with your online email accounts
7. Limewire- spyware-free peer to peer filesharing program
8. Microsoft Antispyware- works well, autoscans, not sure how long it will be free
9. Spamhilator- helps seperate spam from your wanted email
10. RegscrubXP- cleans unwanted registry entries
11. VoipBuster- like skype except you can call land lines and cellphones for free
12. Windows Desktop Search- for searching for keywords within your pdf, word, text documents etc.
13. Windows XP, Photoshop CS, Office 2003 -yeah right!
There's my contribution. HOpe it helps someone.
Nice list
Iv'e reviewed alot of those product's on my site and a few more.

Just found this link in one of the comments on this post at Digg
46 Free Utilities
Most of the programs listed here are present on it but it has a lot more.
Check it out.
Don't forget Protopage personal bookmarks springboard!
How about Mplayer? It's freeware, open source and plays more than anything else i've tested.. even streams quicktime directly from the net..
Screw the Google Toolbar! - The autolink feature is pure evil, The responsible brainiacs at Google should all be strung up and forced to watch Bill Gates keynote speeches...
Excellent and a very detailed compilation of freeware
Get it at @.com
Nice list. You might want to check out this compilation of great freebies for some additions to your list:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm
I think PSPad is a better alternative to Notepad than the ones you mentioned (tried them all). Crimson is my next favorite and then Notetab.
http://www.pspad.com/en/
I also recommend "burnatonce" for CD burning program!
Nice list, but you should also include Shirusupad (www.shirusupad.tk).
Also, technically Firefox isn't safer, it just has a smaller userbase. Symantec's 2004 security report shows that as Firefox's popularity grows, so does its exploits. Also, the Mozilla render engine is still annoyingly pedantic about standards such as the latest CSS one.
A free IE-based browser I'd recommend is Maxthon (www.maxthon.com)
Earle says:
O-KAYYYY, SOME of us NEED to use all caps,just so we can SEE what we're typing [not me]. VISION HELPnow,securing your pc,SECURE PC'S.how bout some browser helper apps ?BROWSER HELPERS.bothered by spyware?ANTI-SPYWARE.what about our children?CHILDREN'S CENTER.ALL of which are part of EARLEA.COM
KeyNote: "Tabbed notebook and personal information manager, with tree structure and strong encryption. Open source." Notetab es muy bueno también para esto...
Y Opera, que no es Open Source pero es mejor programa que Firefox...
Keynote
http://www.tranglos.com/free/keynote.html
Notepad++ favoured for any manual code editing
Offical site
MUCH better list here
http://nedwolf.com/freeware.htm
RSS Bandit is the best RSS reader/aggregator I've found.
I'd also recommend Unison for folder syncing across platforms.
Thanks for the list. Some great food for thought - although I am very leery of more anti-spam, anti-spyware, anti-virus protection - I'm so well protected on my computer that it's starting to chug like a retired racehorse.
Just wanted to suggest you add the plug-in Sage (RSS reader) to your list. It's a free download to Firefox and it works just great. Easy to add feeds and you can group them in folders if you're an organizer-type.
sylvia
Excellent collection, really!
What I suggest as PIM tool (instead of KeyNote etc.) is: TreePad Lite:
http://www.treepad.com/treepadfreeware/
It's simple and works perfect.
What makes it superior in my eyes is that everything is stored in one *.TXT like file. So, even if you have a computer without treepad, you still have all the text accessible.

PasteLister isn't free, but requires registration at 16USD.
Very nice blog. I liked your post on the most popular softwares.
You could get a lot of links to popular softwares at this site too.

I use almost everything on that list and must say that they are all well written, and extremely useful for what they are designed for.
A couple of things I use also are,
A nice little program that adds always on top, and minimize to try options for every window on your desktop.
Double Desktop
Adds a virtual desktop to your pc, doubling your work space.
WinClock
an alarm clock and a grandfather clock. Features include:alarms for each day of the week, chimes for the hours of the day, internal audio support of mp3,midi,wav,wma,mpg,exe,bat files.

Hey Sanjay...Thats a great list....and I think based on the number of responses you got...this post of yours must have been really popular!!!!
Good freeware is hard to find; getting it all to work together and not impede your OS is even harder. Add Snapfiles RSS feed to your newsreader. Also, try this alphabetical list of freeware at http://www.freewareweb.com/alpha_freeware_list.shtml
The blog is interesting and keeps me pondering on several aspects of society. I know a organization in India
which carries out Free Heart Surgery of Kids. There are several other such organisations. Internet has become a way of life for many. Everything can be found on Internet
nowdays from free classifieds to real estate and rentals , from jobs
to dating.and from religion to health.Google
adsense is providing a lot of opportunity for internet publishers to earn over
net. Everyday new inventions are taking place, like one of my friend showed me this site which allows to shorten url. And
many such free tools are available on the net today. Even Internet domains
are a very sought after thing today.

really good list; you should add copernic agent basic...
Thanks for all that have visted our site for more free software without spyware / Adware / virus. Since our first post here we have moved things around a bit so here is an update.
We have also added more links through the users.
Our "free software links" is now under our Technical Division @
http://www.homtechsol.com
wow! this site is awesome! check this site also http://myfreeware.blogspot.com
im2 is a better looking alternative to gaim , it's more useful for the newbie than a power user.I prefer gaim or kopete on linux.
there is a powerful video editing freeware similiar to Adobe Premier:
Avid Free DV (http://www.avid.com/freedv/index.asp).
A free registration needed to recieve S/N.
Nice one. Thanks.
Zone Alarm has some compatibility problems with Avast. KPF is better.
Theres a whole host of freeware on this site..up to date software and new releases..
Huge selection of freeware and shareware tools
Good suggestions, but you should add Keybreeze to the productivity section. I use it to launch programs and websites, create sticky notes, perform system tasks, run macros, and a whole lot more... very useful utility.
Great site for my new laptop!
