Essential Applications for Windows (Free)

There are various tools for windows are available but what I use and I feel they are good and useful for everyone. They are :-

1. uTorrent : BitTorrent client that is a must-have for anyone who wants an effective file-sharing application that can download large files.
2. Skype : Skype is another killer app for the modern personal computer.It’s the first and one of the few VoIP applications on the market that "just works.
3. Infra recorder : It is a replacement of Nero into your system.
4. Dr. Divx : For those who want to take their movies on the go or back up their DVDs to a smaller format, Dr. Divx is an excellent free solution.
5. FastStone Photo Resizer :FastStone Photo Resizer is an absolute killer application for anyone who deals with images. It can batch resize, rename, and convert images of all formats and sizes.
6. K-Lite Mega Codec Pack :If you (or someone you know) is the kind of person who likes to download videos (especially from questionable sources promising adult content) and you don’t want to end up with malware, K-Lite Mega Codec pack plus QuickTime Alternative is for you.
7. CCleaner : CCleaner stands for Crap Cleaner. It is a great registry cleaner and temp file cleaner. (Note that the built-in Disk Cleanup utility in Windows XP and Vista will also do a lot of this.) I’ve used this application to clear out gigabytes of trash on PCs. It also has an excellent uninstaller, and you’d be surprised to see how much junk you can find with it. One note of caution: It does come bundled with Web toolbars, so be sure you uncheck that option if you don’t want them.
8. AVG Antivirus Free Edition : AVG Antivirus Free Edition, which has a really small footprint and doesn’t slow your computer down.
