1. KeePass
As anybody else, I have registered accounts in tons of websites and to avoid repeating the same password in every website I own an account on, I use KeepPass, a free password manager that offers an encrypted and password protected safe place for you to securely keep all your passwords.
2. MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
Keeping your computer safe is very important, however, the antivirus we use won’t always be able to keep your computer away from threats. In addition to antivirus protection, I weekly use MalwareBytes, a tool that allows you to verify your computer and remove found malwares.
3. LibreOffice
Microsoft Office is the most used office package in the world, but it is not a free program. If you don’t want to use a paid license Office and neither a cracked version, be like me, opt to use LibreOffice as your Office tool, a complete office suit that offers completely excellent alternatives for Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Pont.
4. SyncBack Free
As a conscious user, I regularly do my important archives backup to an external HD and to perform this task, I chose SyncBack Free, a free backup and synchronization program that offers an easy and practical way to keep your files backup always on time.
5. EagleGet
A useful program for those who download lots of stuff from the internet is a download manager, as long as it allows you to accelerate and resume stopped downloads. To do this task, i use EagleGet, which in my personal opinion is the best download manager available for Windows.
6. BandZip
Although most people only know Winrar when it comes to file compression, there are other better, full version and free alternatives. A program I use and recommend is BandZip, a file compressor that extracts and compresses ZIP, RAR, 7Z and hundreds more formats.
7. Mail Notifier
To help me notice new incoming e-mails in my inbox, I use and recommend Mail Notifier, a free Windows program that monitors your e-mail accounts and shows a desktop notification when a new message arrives in your inbox.
8. Agent Ransack
I usually search for many files in my computer in the daily basis and, although the search feature on Windows is useful, it is also very limited. To help find any file or archive on Windows I use Agent Ransack, a search program that allows you search by the name and content of your archives.
9. f.lux
Use computer before climbing to bed can impair sleep, so to help me reduce computer effects during the night, I use f.lux, a free program that automatically adjusts the computer or notebook light according to the time of the day in order to let it more confortable to your eyes.
10. qBitTorrent
For many years I used uTorrent, but the latest releases have disappointed me. As an alternative to uTorrent, I opted on using qBitTorrent. In addition to being ads free, it is also a simple and light torrent client that offers all the needed resources for you to download your files using BitTorrent technology.
Anyway, these are just some programs I use and recommend, there are many others like Notepad++, FeedDemon, EMET, QTranslate and CCleaner. What about you, what are the programs you use and recommend?
