Software
Here are some software recommendations. I reviewed this page in 6/2010 and realized that I needed to update it! More of my favorite software is now listed here. I use all of these programs almost daily and they are excellent at getting what I need done.
- Kaspersky AV, excellent antiVirus protection!
- Super AntiSpyware, the best antispyware software available. Pick up a great deal on a lifetime license here.
- Acronis True Image, easiest and best paid program for backup and imaging.
- WinRAR, most feature packed “zip” utility.
- MozBackup, if you use FireFox and/or Thunderbird you need this excellent tool to backup these programs data.
- BatteryCare, great program that provides a lot of information on the battery in your laptop/netbook.
- Invisible Hand for FireFox, great tool that helps you find the lowest price when shopping.
- Web Of Trust, community based tool that helps you surf the Internet safer.
This is only a small start on my list.
You will notice also that most of this software isn’t free??? What’s going on with that? While I do provide freeware solutions for computer users, I also understand that people NEED to get paid. I started UBCD4Win when I was a “home” computer fixer guy. I’ve been working in a “real” shop for over 4 years now and I feel that for some tools, you do have to pay. I’m not “taking a dump” on the freeware solutions out there. I have personally donated to many freeware projects when they have helped me and will continue to do that. However, I just love some of these tools and know that you would too if you gave it a chance.
If you are hellbent on free tools, this IS where you need to go:
Gizmo will not disappoint!
