freeware database (LOOOOK!!!)

lets start a database of all the freeware that'll help your computer. what I mean is lets post the link for AdAware and other programs like that.

I'll admit, i have an ulterior motive, my PC sucks, i don't know whats wrong with it. it used to be so fast, well, as fast as 400mHz can go, and i downloaded a program someone posted, and i found six IE registries were faulty. i did a panda activescan and found seven viruses. i had no clue, i thought the computer was finally going kaput.

note to this fourms mod: can you post this in the archives when it's all complete? so it could help everyone out when their computer is busted.

Irfanview

Open Office 1.1

PC Inspector: File Recovery Sometimes works better than the free!

Chainsaw: Free file Splitter

OE Spell Checker: Needed if you don't have MS word processor and use OE

Actually, I pretty much run my computer on legit freeware!

Hard drive killer pro is not a PC tool. It is a malicious file much like a virus that will spread to all harddrives. Do not underany circumstances put this on your computer. I f you have delete the file do not open. Quarentine first if possible.
