regular PC user to experience is buying a new PC with no side loaded programs

the right software programs on your computer not only do you risk having virus

best in its class. With this software you can insure that both your computer

WinRar
WinRAR
WinRAR is a zip based program which allows its humble users
to make Zip and archives based an archive which is extremely useful for;
compiling huge files together for easier access and space reduction and to
create space by compressing your selected data. What makes this tool so powerful is how you can
make separate RAR files that can be joint to one single file for space purposes
which allows you to have Part1, Part2, Part3, Part4 of the same file and join
them later which makes it really convenient.
Format
factory

Format Factory is a program that is used for converting all
different types of formats like videos: AVI, MP4, 3GP, MKV, Photos: JPG, PNG,
ICO, BPM, GIF, TIF, Audio: MP3, WMA, AAC, M4A etc. Not only can you convert

file type and get to do advanced things like converting an ISO to CSO or DVD to
video file. If you really want to watch videos that put too much stress on your
PC because their quality is too high, just use format factory!
Free
download manager
Free download manager takes the stress out of downloading
files that are needed urgently! You can set priorities; catch downloads from
selective web browsers, Set bandwidth allocation, Traffic limits, torrent,
notify you when downloads are done etc. What I love about this download manager
is how the User Interface is so easy to use and adding downloads is super
simple! If you want a download manager which is super reliable, then choose
this one.
Photo pos
pro studio
Photo pos pro studio is an image editing software which is
extremely similar to adobe Photoshop. On start up, it allows you to choose
between the pro interfaces (like Photoshop) or NOVICE interface which is for
amateurs. The quality you get form this software is really good considering the
user interface and if you really like editing photos but have no skill of any
kind, you can still use the NOVICE which gives you a wide range of effects to
try out. Considering how windows 10 basically don’t come with any serious photo
editing system you can start using this one.
Power ISO
PowerISO is a program heavily focused on disk images as it is
used widely for burning CDs and DVDs. What makes the software so great is how
you can have virtual drives images and even create a bootable device where you
can install different windows OS or even boot Linux or Ubuntu. A lot of
software and games nowadays are packaged in ISO or CSO formats because it
compresses the files and you can easily mount the image so you can start
playing games. All the PS3, PS4,XBOX 360, XBOX One games all have ISO formats
which you can download, burn and start playing.
SHAREit
SHAREit for Windows
- 100% Safe - Freeware
SHAREit is widely known on the mobile platform because it’s
so easy to transfer files between two devices and has been successful in
utilizing the full power of mobile hotspots which transfer files at an
incredible rate. On PC you can basically connect whatever device you want with
shareit and if you get additional features too! Such as PowerPoint helper and photo
displayer which adds more to the program itself. While using SHAREit, the user interface is
very friendly and it is not complicated to send files across devices, It’s as
simple as simply selecting a file and choosing which device which that file
goes too.
Game
booster
game booster is a performance optimizer that creates the
right conditions for you to enjoy gaming on your computer. But it doesn’t have
to only be for gaming, you can actually use this for performance for the
applications that demand it such as after effects, Expectation? You get a
faster computer at a click of the button! When you’re all done you can simply change
the changes back to normal. To get maximum results, the windows skin might
change to allow performance to increase and you get a game cupboard which
displays all your games and if you launch them, it will cause the games to run
better.
VLC media
player
VLC media player is amongst the best video players in the
world! It can basically play over tens of formats and lets the user customize
the user interface, control audio effects and have full control of the video
they’re watching. VLC also comes with constant updates (unlike windows media
player) which come with new plugins which enhance the viewing experience. The
video playback is extremely responsive and the ability to add or remove
subtitles, change aspect ratio and crop dimensions just makes this video player
way much better. Unlike windows media player, you can have multiple open tabs
on VLC which allows you to watch different videos.
Recuva
Recuva is a program that recovers any data that has been
deleted whether it’s by accidental
or by purpose. This software is able to recover items such
as pictures, videos, music and other files such as documents and while in test
it actually gives you a list of all the things you’ve deleted and at the side
of the file you want to recover, there are three circular colors that are Red,
yellow and green, They represent the chance you have of successfully recovering
your file while red being least. I was able to recover some files with no problem but
with the red files, they’re gone for good! To get successful result after a
file has been deleted, stop using your computer as much as possible.
BONUS!!!
Everything
Everything is a program that allows you to search everything
on your PC no matter where it is! Its list based type of user interface and it
is extremely simple to use. You don’t have to worry about lengthy search times
as it displays them almost instantly.
