Links! (for almost everything...)

After a lot of asks about my previous post by IM and e-mail, I decided to post a full list of software (most of them Freewares but I add some Sharewares) that are compatible with avast! Now I present this data in a friendly way with some links updated. The list have more than 600 links so it´s quite impossible that all of them were good. I try to do my best. Before asking me, try to do some searches in the Web.

Most of them I have used or I’m using right now, so I can give some help on them. They are catalogued into 46 sections and I post bellow in an alphabetical list of topics. Note that it is quite impossible to write a description for all of them.

These are my applications and I do not have the intention to hurt anybody else who does not like them. Of course, I could not be responsible for any damage in your system (although I have tried to use all of these softwares at least in a near past).

Enjoy the links or see more here. :wink: Sorry for any error. :cry:

By Techie’s suggestion, the user is redirected to the main page and not for the download link, except when the file is identified by an asterisk *.
