Free Software List for Vista

[Brink]

Your welcome Sound_Asleep.

Just remember that a spyware program is not the the same as a antivirus program and they do not always search for the same thing. You should have both types installed for better protection.

I'm using
Norton
SuperAntiSpyware

and amazingly the antispyware programs got rid of the trojan and virus on my computer and also the programs removed adware and spyware from my mums computer
I wanted to say thanks from both of us

Blender is the open-source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback. It is available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.Mostly a bug-fixing release, but it also adds a few new features like subsurface scattering (SSS) support and two new composite nodes. Version 2.46 includes cloth and fur simulation, physics caching and baking, shading, glossy reflection and refraction, raytraced soft shadows, improved rendering features, and more.

Blender (exe), from Blender - Free Downloads on ZDNet | Shareware, Trialware, Evaluation Software

great programs its very important for all

Yes, thanks for the list. For a starter I am running AVG 8.0 Internet Security (paid version) as well as TuneUp Utilities 2008. If I install AD-Aware and Ccleaner will there be any conflict. Reason is that AVG does not delete cookies that contain adware etc. You can do this manually, but considering the above do I need to add anymore programs. Comments welcome.

 

[Brink]

Hello William,

No, they should not conflict with each other. You might consider using Spybot Search & Destroy as well. You will get a conflict message about using it with Ad-Aware, but it will not cause any conflicts.

Here's another freebie that works in Vista. A utility similar to SIW but it has the
nice feature that you can select which system info you want to glean, then create
an html report. It's called LookInMyPC

I used it to create a nice hard copy of my Vista Services. It creates a Framed html document but you can either select Save Frame As or just print the Frame info from your browser to get a clean hard copy.

Also it's on NoNags, CNET and some other sites so I'm assuming it's been checked for
spyware etc..

Awesome list, this should definitely come in handy (though I know most of them already :P).

 

[william gunkel]

Thank you BRINK for the list, I had no idea that there was so much freeware out there for VISTA. I am using some caution by downloading one program at a time, that way if there is a problem I will know where it came from. I downloaded Ccleaner and it is great, It cleans up what AVG leaves and is a good sidekick to TuneUp Utilities. The menu is so great, what shall I try next. Great job as usual, THANKS.

 

[Brink]

Your welcome Slimy and William.

William, I like the cookie (Options and Cookies) manager in CCleaner. You just enable the cookie for a website and when it appears in CCleaner, add it to the right keep side to prevent it from being deleted when you clear the IE browsing history.

Free flv player for PC

Here is a free flv player for PC: AUNsoft flv player. Personally speaking, it is good and suitable to me. It is a standlone software to play any downloaded flv file on your computer and web flv files from YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo Video, Myspace, etc. With this best flv player, you could fluently enjoy flash videos with no audio distortion or video stuck.
