Its a while back that I wrote some of favorite freeware softwares , so here is some of my current freeware favorites for the year of 2008.
AVG Personal Edition : I’ve been using this antivirus for almost 3 years now. Its been steadily improving, the only problem which I found was its inability to find autorun based viruses in pen drives. But the 2008 edition with built-in spyware has a better User Interface and scanning engine. My only gripe about this version is that it needs to be daily updated, there is no option to change it as a weekly update and the e-mail scanner works for only 30 days. It also has got a paid Internet Security Suite. And for other free alternatives you can try Avast and Antivir- CCleaner : Another of my long time favorites. But after my ideapad and its tryst with vista CCleaner is not perfect in its working. Like it reports 8 MB to be cleaned and after cleaning it says 26 MB was cleaned. But still its a nice utility to weed out the junk from my Ideapad
- JZip : After trying a host of compression utilities, JZip has been proved its a nice utility with the ability to view zip,rar,tar,iso archives. Its a lightweight and free software
Hopefully these softwares will be useful to you or if you have any other free alternatives let me know. And for the reminder of 2008 I am eagerly awaiting for the full release of Firefox 3 and Open Office 3
