Popular freeware
PC Pitstop is a well-known site for help in maintaining a PC and its latest list of popular freeware has been posted. The top five applications in popularity are Firefox, CCleaner, AVG anti-virus, Real Player, and Spybot- Search & Destroy. For me, the surprise here is Real Player. This is an application that I have disliked for years because of its aggressive actions in messing with your system. Also, I wouldn’t have guessed that the Real Player formats were that popular.
Another list of freeware is provided by Lifehacker. This list was not chosen on the basis of popularity but is the editors’ picks:
We feature downloads of all kinds every day at Lifehacker. Today, however, we’re bundling all the best free downloads for new computer owners, re-installers, would-be geeks, or anyone who wants to save time installing the best stuff out there. This is our 2009 Lifehacker Pack for Windows computers.
The idea is the same as when we first introduced the Lifehacker Pack more than three years ago—a single, handy list that we think improves the computer lives of Windows users. We’re also providing a utility to download some or all of these applications at once—more on that after the list.
