Small, Useful, Freeware

For quite some time I have been using a few small, freeware programs that have delivered an unmatched performance and functionality besides being only few kb in size. I shared a few of them with a friend and he told me that I should make a post about those programs. Since one of the sub topics of my blog is technology, I decided to listen to his suggestion. So, below, you will find a small list of programs along with some details and download links. Let me know if any of the programs listed will be of any help to you or if you know other similar programs that can be added to the list.

Until recently I have been using another freeware to clean the junk out – and it was the rather popular CCleaner . In fact I even used to recommended CCleaner to few people who paid me to clean up their PC . However this software did not satisfy me fully as a privacy tool as it failed to clean up some index.dat files .
