5 Free Programs your PC can’t live without

These free tools are ready to fix and clean your PC when you need them most! All are free and extremely reliable.

1. CCleaner- the famous cleaning utility, originally called CrapCleaner( hence they “cleaned” the name),  is the best computer cleaner- no exceptions! As seen below, CCleaner has a general purpose cleaner ( deleting Internet files, cookies, and urls), Registry Cleaner ( cleans Active X registries, Obsolete Software Registry…), Start-Up programs can be disabled, Program Uninstaller, and General as well as Advanced Options. Highly recommend it. ! Download Now!

2. Defraggler- From the makers of CCleaner comes the best defragmentation software ever!( even better than Microsoft Disk Defragmenter) Up at the top, the software graphically shows you what type of files are taking space in your drives. To begin, simply Analyze and Quick Defrag( for a better defragmentation of your hard drive, run the Defrag only). After several minutes, your hard drive should occupy less space and your PC should perform faster than ever.

3.  Microsoft Security Essentials- My security tool of choice, Microsoft Security Essentials has blazing speed, quick start-up, a clean interface, but does not neglect the security department. Essentials updates automatically within Windows Update, and is excels at finding and pausing malware. Other features include Real-Time Protection, comprehensive History, along with Quarantined Items, Scheduled Scans, Exclude Files, Advanced Settings, and CPU usage limit that limits the CPU power that goes into Essentials, making it work faster and more efficient. Highly recommend it! Better than McAffee, Norton and others! Download Now for Free for Windows PC

4.  Recuva- Recuva is kind of like Recycle Bin done right. Recuva can recover almost any file ( video, picture, doc) that went by your computer. The software has the same clean design of CCleaner, scans relatively quickly, and works well. It may just solve your problems when you need that picture you deleted six days ago. It does job well and deserves credit.

5. Microsoft Fix It Center- While still in Beta, Fix It Center has proven more than capable at troubleshooting different Windows errors or malfunctions. Completely reliable, simply click “Run” and the software automatically identifies your problem and fixes it for you. Recommended for all Windows Users!

Windows 8 to land in stores Fall 2012

Keeping in pattern with Windows launches and release date, Microsoft will refuse to break the mold and launch Windows 8 around the time of Fall 2012. A Microsoft Corporate Vice President not only announced the Windows 8 Fall debut but also stated a coming beta for Redmond’s exciting platform, currently still under development.

20110615-115404.jpg The Windows 8 beta is expected to launch after the BUILD conference has completely finished. The Redmond exec also detailed a long 1-year tuning process that hinders the prospect of a Windows 8 release this calendar year.

Asked whether Windows 8 should have run on smartphones rather than the current decision, he argued that users want to have enterprise and productivity features that already exist in PCs- to move Windows OS to smartphones would hinder the available enterprise features as well as enterprise security.

Bottom line: Windows 8 is tightly running on schedule and imitating the development process of previous successes. The Windows 8 beta will be released as soon as the BUILD conference( very logical timing), .

20110615-121104.jpgalthough typically betas are closed to users until further along in the testings..still very exciting- by the end of this year, we will know what Windows 8 will officially look like and will be able to beta test it as well
