◄Useful Programs for Windows 7►

[J4mmy]

I decided to make a list of programs that you might want to have on your computer which is running Windows 7. I've categorized them for easier navigation to find a program that will fulfill your needs. All of these programs i have listed are freeware, but some may be only trial-versions for a certain amount of days until the program will prompt you to purchase the full product or the program stays in un-usable state.

Optimizing software

• Advanced SystemCare
• Auslogics Boostspeed
• Enchance My7even
• Tuneup Utilities 2011 (15-days trial version)
• Glary Utilities
• Complete System Tuneup

Registry fixing & Junk file cleaning tools

• CCleaner
• NCleaner
• WiseCleaner

Disk Defragging tools

• Defraggler
• Wise Disk Cleaner and Defrag

Other

• Launchy - Launch your programs easily
• LightScreen - Screenshot Utility
• Unlocker - Get rid of messages such as "Can't access the file because it is read-only/locked
• Stickies - External Notepad
• Filehippo Update Checker - Tells you when your freeware softwares needs to be updated

Diagnostics

• CPU-Z | Diagnostics tool to see all your hardware components information
• Ultimate BootCD - A bootable CD, which includes many floppy disk based tools for diagnosing your system (Needs to burned on CD and boot from it in order to use it)
• Wireshark - Program for monitoring Incoming and outgoing connections for your computer
• IObit Toolbox - A toolbox to diagnose, repair and optimize your computer

Cheers,
J4mmy

You can add Smart Defrag, iobit uninstallers, and game booster. Three useful programs that I use.

IObit toolbox has them all, that's why they are left out of this ^_^

I believe you meant Filehippo Update Checker as Filehippo alone is just a freeware sharing site

I shall add this to the OP immediately.

No problem. Thanks for suggesting it! Do you might now any other softwares that could be useful for Windows 7 operating systems?

Well. No, but you should properly have Firefox. Because, if you are using "Internet explorer". And you are going on a site with virus. Then it wont block it. If you are using Google Crome, and you download something, it could be "Hack, Keyloggers... e.t.c." Then they can see what you are downloading.

Firefox, have something that they can add addons.

I fail to see your point. The idea is to have a list of useful programs that can enhance your performance, stability and enjoyment whilst using the Windows 7 operating system. Security of your computer is another field which I'll probably make a thread about very soon.

Thanks for your reply though.

Thanks for nice share again j4mmy

J4mmy, I have nearly forgotten all about this program. It is called "Core Temp".

Core Temp is a compact, no fuss, small footprint, yet powerful program to monitor processor temperature and other vital information.
