Unlike some software publishers, Piriform won’t bend your arm or deceive you in order to get you to go for the paid version.If you want to add a program which is not already in this list try to put a link to it in the right place alphabetically in this alphabetical list. This is because I belong to the school of thought that says that potentially breaking the registry is too high a price to pay for the small gain in performance that you might gain by cleaning it. Even with CCleaner, though, I uncheck all the options for checking the registry. I avoid them all except CCleaner (which I’ve been using for years). Some are good, some are flakey, and some are actually malware. There are many, many products out there that will promise to clean up your machine of the detritus that Windows programs leave behind.

A cynic might say that that is AVG’s intention when offering the different versions of their product.Īnti-malware software.

Although less devious than they used to be, you could still very easily aim to install the free version and, 30 days later, find that you are being asked to pay for the paid version as you had actually downloaded the trial version of the paid version instead of the free one. Licensing: Free, if you manage to download the correct version. This is very good antivirus software in that it does its job and doesn’t hassle you too much with annoying popups or get into nooks and crannies of your system that it really doesn’t need to touch.
The list will continue in next week’s blog. Here, in alphabetical order, is the first half of my list, together with links so that you can download them for yourself. I’ve mentioned some of them before, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve another mention. So, the least I can do for them is to give them a little plug while drawing them to your attention.
