Good FREE Programs

There was a thread like this a long awhile ago so, id like to extend that but i didnt want to reopen that thread so I'm making another one. If anyone has any good free programs that they like, Give the name of it a brief but small descritpion and if possible a link.

Ad-aware (Adware remover)

Gimp (A manipulation of photoshop)

Avant Browser (Extension To IE)

Ram Booster (Frees Up Ram)

All these can be found on downloads.com except Gimp

Lets get the free programs rolling in.

sorry to burst your bubble but Ram Boosting software is Vapour Ware.. it doesn't free up your ram.. actually it can slow you system down. I would not use it.

Operating Systems are made correctly to manage all the physical ram in your system or else the O/S wouldn't run at all.
