Default Freeware Faves

AM deadlink-- got a lot of favorites ?
Check em all at once with this app
Bring bad ones to top of list w/one-click
back the good ones up with one click

AM-DeadLink - Download FavIcons and detect dead links in your browser bookmarks


Another MUST-have (to me)

RoboForm Password Manager... not absolutely free...
free for the first 25 password/login combinations. Fully functional no nag-screens. If you have as many logins as I do (several hundred) you need this app.
After 25 you must buy it -- bit it's a lifetime purchase. ALL further upgrades are free... best web tool I own period.


RoboForm Features: Fill In Forms, Automatic Forms Completion, Save Forms, Search Toolbar


Eprompter is also great... got several email addresses ?
Want to check them without opening your email application?

ePrompter Free eMail Notification Software

completely free-- no malware/supports almost every email domain out there. Full list on info page.
Icon sits in taskbar/checks emails (I have 3 monitored accounts) every so often (customizable)
You can check and read/delete/send/forward... right from within this app. I use it to screen spam before it downloads at all.

1)All Roboform versions are fully enabled at first... after 30 days it will allow only 25 passwords to be saved.... you can still use it.
2) the license for the paid version is forever. I've had it for 5 years.

Amongst my fav freeware stuff has to be:
  • Pidgin (Formerly GAIM, multi protocol messenger)
  • VLC player (the greatest media player, ever )
  • Truecrypt (Volume and file encryption)
  • Komodo Edit (Text editor, well, more of an IDE but I love it)
  • Notepad2 (Notepad replacement)
  • Audacity (Basic audio editing/recording)
  • Firefox.

CCleaner....LOVE IT. Wish it didn't change its name to CCleaner though

Portableapps.com....bunch of 100% free stuff that runs right off a flash drive...including portable openoffice.org, audacity, other great tools.

AdAware....obviously.



Look at that...guess I'm a moderator now yeehaw!

I really must add
Dave's Quicksearch Deskbar.

Search directly from your desktop whatever search engine you like-- without having to open a browser first or deal with large/intrusive toolbars.Sits right in your taskbar-- opens default browser automatically.

Release candidate 4 is the one if you have XP SP2

Dave's Quick Search Taskbar Toolbar Deskbar

you can customize this in many ways with a little file edit.

A lot of good stuff on The Portable Freeware Collection, all kinds of portable goodness. Site isn't
really navigation friendly but it's updated almost everyday.
