FREE Apps To Improve Productivity

You need to make the most out of your time, and I have a couple of remedies for you and your precious time!

Here are a few FREE applications that are easy to install and help make your (computer) life more productive.

YouSendIt
One of the oldest temporary file-storage online apps, YouSendIt can handle files up to 100MB in size and is a good site for parking large files for others to download.

Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2
Spybot is one of the oldest and most respected names in the fight against spyware. In addition to combating the online baddies trying to hijack your PC, the latest version features a file shredder and can also wipe your system clean of your Web-surfing tracks. One click of the Search for Updates button keeps you protected from the latest threats. Download now

PrimoPDF 3.2
You don’t need an expensive version of Adobe Acrobat in order to create PDF files. PrimoPDF lets you “print” to PDF format from almost any Windows application, even letting you optimize the file depending on if it’s destined for print or onscreen reading. The utility also provides password protection and encryption (either 40-bit or 128-bit) options for your PDFs, along with the ability to control how the files can be edited by recipients. Download now

Revo Uninstaller 1.42
Many great utilities draw upon features that Windows offers and take them further. Revo Uninstaller goes beyond what Windows does with its Add/Remove Programs function, cleaning up any remnants (like Registry entries) of a removed app that Windows might otherwise miss. It also gathers up files related to broken applications so you can clean them off your system. Download now

CPU-Z 1.43
A tweaker’s godsend, CPU-Z can tell you everything about your PC’s core components, including basic specs such as processor name and RAM amount to overclocking essentials such as clock multiplier and voltage settings. If you want to find out all the crucial information about what’s going on “under the hood” of your machine, CPU-Z is essential. Download now

Quick Startup 2.3
We love any program that can help speed up boot times, because—let’s face it—we use Windows. As you’re probably already well aware, lots of Windows applications take the opportunity to load themselves when you start your PC, whether you want them to or not. Quick Startup shows you all those programs gumming up the works, then allows you to disable the ones you don’t really need to launch at startup. Download now

iDump 24
One of the admittedly few annoyances with owning an iPod is that Apple makes it difficult to transfer files from your device onto a PC, which becomes a headache if you load tracks onto your iPod at work and want to put them on your home computer. A simple solution is iDump, a utility that makes copying songs from your iPod to a computer as easy as selecting tracks and deciding which directory you want iDump to transfer them to. If you’ve filled the player with thousands of files, iDump lets you sort songs by criteria such as artist, album, genre, file size, bit rate, and more. It also has a search function to let you find that one particular track you need to hear on your PC right now. Download now

Free Registry Defrag 2.32
One of the “joys” of an older Windows-based PC is that the Registry gets stuffed with remnants from entries for software programs you’ve deleted from your system altogether. A quick way to give your system a little performance boost is to close up the gaps in your Registry file caused by scattered data. That’s where Free Registry Defrag comes in. It compacts and optimizes your Registry (though it doesn’t remove invalid entries), and it even runs on Windows Vista. Download now

RAM Idle LE 1.5
Another way to give your PC a speed boost is to make it allocate available system memory more efficiently. RAM Idle can automatically balance free RAM available with the needs of the programs you’re running. It also allows you to manually earmark a certain amount of memory for a particular application. If you can’t add more RAM to your system, RAM Idle is a no-cost answer to memory bottlenecks you’re experiencing now. Download now
