Antivius & Firewall
Comodo Internet Security - Free for business/commercial use as well! The Comodo website has become a bit tricky. Just go get the Antivirus program for Home and you will actually get the full Internet Security package which includes the firewall for free. If you go to the Internet Security link it takes you to the pay version.
Firewall rated higher than the rest, click here to read the review.
DVD Player
VLC Portable (inlcuded in the Portable Apps Suite). - Not the best DVD player, but it's free.
Media Player
GOM - Automatically identifies and downloads any missing codecs for a media file! Keyboard shortcuts are the most convenient and intuitive I've seen in any media player.
File Compression/Extraction
WinRAR - Fast, clean and easy for ZIP, RAR, ISO, etc. Now with a 64-bit version too!
Batch File Rename
File Renamer Basic - easy on the eyes yet versatile with commands.
DVD Ripping
Handbrake - gotta love presets for output to different formats! Presets:
- Apple
- Basic
- High Profile
- Gaming Consoles
CD/DVD Backup, ISO and Burning
ImgBurn - Quick and easy to burn ISOs or create ISOs. Unfortunately you can't just copy a CD to another CD, you'll have to create the ISO first and then burn the ISO. Forces/helps you have an ISO backup of whatever you're burning though.
FTP Site Manager
FileZilla - Self-explanatory.
Screen Capture
Gadwin PrintScreen - Screenshots only, no image editing sadly. BUT you have these convenient options:
- Copy captured area to Clipboard
- Copy captured area to Printer
- Send captured area via E-mail
- Copy captured area to File
Notepad Replacement/Coding XML, HTML, etc.
Notepad+++ - Oooo colors...
Telnet Connection Manager
Putty Connection Manager - Of course you will need Putty first.
IP Scanning
Angry IP - better than Advanced IPScan. Pulls more fields, however Comodo thinks it's malicious but I trust it.
