Vista - Free Software List for Vista

Hello Localsuzukimoto, and welcome to Vista Forums.

XnView as been added to the list. Thank you.

Shawn

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.

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.

Your welcome Nizaradil, and welcome to Vista Forums.

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).

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.

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.
