Software I use and recommend
To quote their site, “Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for
computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface
with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful
and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help,
tutorials, and plugins.”
I’ve used other photo editors in the past, including Photoshop, but prefer the speed,
usability and price of this one. Click here to get it from filehippo.com.
Malwarebytes is an effective tools for ridding your PC of all sorts of malware. It
comes in two versions: a free one that you can update and use to perform “on-
demand scans” to rid your PC of malware. The paid version ($25.00 at last check)
runs full-time on your PC.
Most users get plenty of benefit from the free version and probably don’t need to buy
the full version. Click here for the official site, or go to filehippo.com to get it.
Pirisoft’s CCleaner is a great cleanup tool for Windows, one that goes beyond the
Disk Cleanup tool built into Microsoft Windows. It can remove garbage files from your
PC and optimize the Windows registry with its registry cleanup tool. It also allows you
to see what programs start every time you turn on your PC, and lets you selectively
disable ones you don’t need. Used regularly, it’s quick and easy.
To find it go to CCleaner.com or to filehippo.com.
