[Windows] Top 10 Apps I Install After Every Re-Format
June 4th, 2009
These are free apps I simply cannot live without. All Windows users are familiar with the annual, or quarterly re-format, and we all have those apps that we ALWAYS install- here are mine (again, they are free!):
- Mozilla Firefox – This one goes without saying. A very powerful and secure browser with tabs, themes, and countless other add-ones! This one is essential.
- RocketDcok - The power of the OS X dock, but in Windows, for free!
- WinRAR – We all need this these days. It is quickly becoming the new medium for file compression.
- ClamWin – A fast, free, reliable, and light anti-virus software.
- Malware Bytes – This is my favorite tool to get those nasty fake anti-spyware/virus infections. Check my guide on it here.
- CCleaner - one of a kind tool in cleaning temporary files, system and internet cache, registry issues, and more!
- Pidgin - a popular favorite in the Linux world, now it’s on Windows! A versatile IM client with support for many open source plug-ins.
- VLC - Plays any video file you can throw at it, any time!
- WinAmp - This one is a classic, and still on my list. A media player that is lighter than iTunes, supports skins and plug-ins!
- Unlocker - Don’t you hate it when you can’t move or delete a file because another Windows process is using it? Well, this unlocks the file, and lets you do what you want with it! Check my post on it here.
