The good Freeware List (Updated)

[Gordon Moore]

Sometimes we find freeware that meets or exceeds commercial packages and I thought it would be good to start a list of peoples favorite freeware (can't be shareware...nor can it be shareware + "a crack I found on KazaA").

So here we go:
O/S
===
Linux (of course...pick your flavour)
FreeBSD

Network Probing Tool
===============
NetProbe
Wyvernworks port scanner

Firewall
======
ZoneAlarm
Sygate personal firewall
Wyvernworks Firewall

Popup/javascript kliller
================
Webwasher


Adware/Spyware Detection/Removal
=========================l=
Adaware6.0
Spybot search and Destroy



Free Resident Virus Scanner with Scheduler
===============================
AVG



Free Online Virus Scanners
===================
TrendMicro HouseCall


PandaScan
click on the button that says free.


BitDefender
click on I agree.

Free Proxy software for network sharing
=============================
Proxy+
EasyProxy



Free FTP Software
=============
Coffeecup FTP
SmartFTP

Free Word Processor
===============
AbiWord: AbiWord
download is 4 Megs in size...not as full featured but gets the job done and
the price is perfect! Makes you wonder why Word is sooooo big....do we really use all those features any ways?



Free Office Suite
===============
OpenOffice

Free unrecoverable delete utility
=======================
Once it removes a file or cleans your free space it's gone for good (pretty much) no software recovery tool is going to get it back and only the best of the best file recovery centers "might" be able to retrieve it.

Eraser: Eraser


Free System Monitoring Software (voltage, temp)
===================================
Motherboard Monitor


LFE Box Design Spreadsheet
=====================
Unibox, an LF box design spreadsheet for Excel 2000 and Excel XP
Excellent tool, better than many $100 programs.


UniBox


Measurement /Currency Conversion Programs
=========================
Yankee Square
Roman Numeral Equivalent
Quick Convert -16 categories
Currency Convertor2 -with daily internet updates



Site with Premiere freeware
====================
webattack

AnalogX

Software602.com
(has a free office suite and free networking suite The office suite is not as good as open office because open office provides features that are pay-for upgrades in 602's office suite)

Yankee Tool, an excellent units conversion program for those times when one speaker vendor supplies Sd in square meters, and another in square inches.
