Hexagora Performance Monitor

Perfect view for CPU, memory, disk ...

What's so good about this is that you can have a detailed view of any of the activity types on-screen, or (like me) choose just the "tray" mini-graphs. Now and then I might want the full view, but mostly I just want to know how busy things are at a glance. I did find it worth playing with the default tray colours, to stand out better on my chosen Win8 theme. Easy to configure, try it!

Puran Defrag

Set and forget? oh yes!

Excellent features for a free defrag. Don't know what else you might want that it doesn't do. For most users, an occaisional boot-time defrag (it recommends this first time), otherwise the automatic defrag will keep things very tidy without noticeable interference with your activities. No real need to mess with the default settings unless you are a bit of a geek! I'm using it with XP and Win8. I did take the time to turn off the Win8 built-in auto-scheduled defrag (not essential, but Puran does it better...).

EaseUS Todo Backup Free

Best free backup I've found. Supports Win8

The ONLY problem I have found is that the "help" page covers the "paid" version too, not always clear which features are not in the freebee (all the important ones are). It supports every kind of backup I have ever wanted, from selected files via partition image to exact disk physical sector clone. It is easy to do incremental updates too - a big time and space saver. Recovery is also pretty straight-forward, especially from a file backup. It's as quick as anything else I have tried, and will backup to a USB drive (use the "browse" button to select it) - good for me as I have a ClickFree USB backup device, which I like but doesn't support Win8. So my new laptop uses free space on this with EaseUS. Definitely worth a try - I have the EaseUS Partition Manager too (also free) which is as good as anything else I have seen.

PeerBlock

If you like p2p you must have it

Installs easily, updates automatically from information provided by a dedicated well-informed P2P community. Helps you avoid deliberately "faked" files, and "spy" sites which might try to exploit you. Works whatever P2P network you use, and doesn't seem to affect download performance or use much resource.

Eraser

Complete, proven, fast, free

Best of the lot. Not only can you erase a file directly from right-click, you can erase the recycle bin the same way if you "forgot". Best of all, you can wipe all free space (including the unused bits of re-allocated clusters) if you think you might have left some confidential files un-erased. Tried this app because of other comments, thanks guys, no regrets!

Comodo Internet Security

Maybe the best freebie

Needs patience while it "learns", but protection is excellent even using default settings. If you know what you're doing you can avoid the "learning" cycle, but the "help" could be better. Enough flexibility for professional use, works on servers as well as workstations, and supports multiple NIC's: most don't. Benchmarking I can't detect any noticeable performance hit on connections, and CPU usage is negligible. Amazingly comprehensive for freeware. So far no crashes...

Shutter

Worth having if you're `green`

Lets me leave stuff running and go to bed, knowing it will close down reliably. Saves power and money.

Attachment Enabler for Outlook

Thanks for this great free tool

Solves a Microsoft problem, gives you the choice which attachments you allow. Change your mind as often as you like. Great when a trusted friend wants to mail you a program, you can permit EXE attachments, extract the one you want, then disable again. Take care not to leave dangerous types enabled unless you really know what you are doing.
