great collection imbibe. You've done a good jopb. I'm already using most of these softwares.

Great collection of softwares.I appreciate you hard work and also appreciate that you spent your time for collecting this useful stuff and making it available for the trap17 users.

thanks for share, I think most people here are using the free softwares you recommanded.

nice collection, I'm interested in Page Defrag by the way I'll test it, thanks

I would add Free AV to that list since it's totally free to use, there's no trial and no limitation for the virus definition upgrades. It's also stable, needs almost no RAM to run, sleeps nicely in the background and has a decent detection ratio.
