Awesome dude. This couldn't have come at a better time!

Firefox has the best web browser .... logo, and fun freebies.

Popping for later review, but the list seems to be pretty biased from my initial scan of a few categories. Best desktop file scanner X1 (good one) then Yahoo!? (huh?). Maybe the couple of categories I checked seem that way and the rest are great (crosses fingers cause I love legal free stuff!)

Thanks for posting this, Webroot Spy Sweeper is great

Always enjoy seeing people's "best' files, especially computers and software.

the first 4 I've tried send me to the error 404 site...what's up with this?

You are right johnniedoo. I guess is something wrong on theon the Clipmarks server.

If you go to the Tech Support Alert page, they all work fine.

thanks this is a good reference to have. I use use some of these and some other utilities but there is good information there to be sure

I strongly recommend subscribing to Gizmo's newsletter. Opening his newsletter is like opening gifts on Xmas day...(I know it is sad..!)

I also love Gizmo's TechSupportAlert newsletters, and the other articles he's written on various topics. Most notable of the latter is his ongoing analysis of programs designed to counter the threats from spyware, adware, and most other relevant malware. A general subscription is totally free, and its monthly arrival is always eagerly anticipated. You can become a Supporter for only $10 a year, and I was so pleased with having done so that I gave several as Christmas gifts! ( Sorry, Zrezvi, you weren't on my list.)

This list of Best-ever is only the first part...

None of the links are working?

Ok, I got it.

Excellent!

links aren't working-

links are dead

Something may be wrong on the Clipmarks server.

If you go to the Tech Support Alert page (http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm) , they all work fine.

I can't imagine the time it took to prepare this. Brilliant!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

Thanks a ton this stuff is great!!!
