Well in todays world people say that nothing is free.But prooving them wrong are the freewares.But,most people are not aware of them.Many people pay for what which can be got free.
So let's biuld a list of the best of the best freewares.
Here are three Three best of the best freewares(ofcourse according to me).Please add yours.
1. IrfanView
IrfanView is a mainly compact, easy to use image viewer. More than that, you can also edit images directly in IrfanView, to produce a variety of effects. IrfanView was created by Irfan Skiljan.
It?s the best tool that I have seen for picture file conversion (from 1 format to another).
You can carry out Batch Conversion/Rename. One can create slideshows and screensavers. Load photo CD. Print images. It can also get images from TWAIN compatible devices. And much much more. Here?s a list of format?s supported by it.
AIF?, ANI, AU?, AVI, B3D, BMP, CAM, CLP, CPT, CRW, CUR, DAT?, DCM/ACR, DCX, DDS, DIB, DJVU, DLL/EXE, DXF, ECW, EMF, EPS, FLI/FLC?, FPX, FSH, G3, GIF, ICL, ICO, IFF/LBM, IMG, JP2, JPG/JPEG, JPM, KDC, LDF, LWF, Mac PICT?, MED, MID, MNG/JNG, MOV??, MP3, MPG/MPEG?, MrSID, NLM/NOL/NGG/NSL/OTB/GSM, OGG, PBM, PCX, PGM, PhotoCD, PNG, PPM, PSD, PSP, QTIF?, RAS/SUN, RealAudio, RAW, RLE, RMI, SFF, SFW, SGI/RGB, MrSID, SWF, SND?, TGA, TIFF/TIF, TTF, TXT, WAD, WAV, WBMP, WMF, WMA, WMV, XBM, XPM, (NEF, ORF, RAF, MRW, DCR).
? Microsoft?s Media Player program is required for these formats.
? Apple?s QuickTime program is required for these formats
Get the program from http://tucows.conova.com/files2/iview390.exe (801 KB)
Get the plugin's from http://irfanview.tuwien.ac.at/plugins/all_plugins.zip (5547 KB)
2. Proxomitron
I am not including the full features list.You will get that in the help file.
Here's a partial list of what the Proxomitron can do "out of the box"
(not that it was ever in a box mind you)
? Stop windows that pop-up, pop-under, or pop-over
? Stop those un-closable endless banner chains
? Stop pop-up JavaScript message boxes
? Remove web-branding and other scripts tacked on by "free" web providers.
? Convert most ads and banner pictures into simple text links
? Freeze all animated gifs
? Make blinking text appear as bold instead
? Remove slow web counters
? Stop web pages from "auto-refreshing"
? Prevent pages from changing fonts
? Get rid of or replace web page background images
? Protect against getting "trapped" inside someone else's frames!
? Make all frames resizable
? Close top or bottom frame banner windows
? Protect against getting "trapped" inside someone else's frames!
? Make background MIDI songs play only when you choose.
? Remove status bar scroll-texts
? Remove "dynamic" HTML from pages
? Disguise your browser's identity and version from JavaScripts
? Remove style sheets
? Un-hide URLs when the mouse is over a link
? Disable frames or tables altogether
? Change or delete cookies
? Change your browser's user-agent and other identifying fields
? Hide where you've been previously from inquisitive web servers
and, as they say, much, much more.
Get Proxomitron from http://www.proxomitron.info/files/download...ad/ProxN45j.zip
Get the filters from http://www.jd5000.net/proxo/JDList_10-24-03.exe
It?s recommended that beginners use the basic filter.
3. SpyBot - Search & Destroy
Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spybot-S&D can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other users and don't want them to see what you worked on. And for professional users, it allows to fix some registry inconsistencies and extended reports.
Get the latest version from http://www.spybot-updates.com/files/spybotsd13rc4.exe
Some other freewares I like are Zone Alarm,Avg Antivirus,Virtuadub,Winamp(well the version 5 isn?t really a freeware)
Please let this list grow.
