Top 100 Free Software Downloads Pt 3

I've actually neglected this topic (Christmas season caught up to me lol), well here we are again starting from numero 11.

 11.  Microsoft Games For Windows Live


It is an online gaming service for Games for Windows-branded PC titles. It enables Windows PCs to connect to the Live service, which will eventually include other devices including Windows Mobile and Zune. 

Users, each with a unique Gamertag, the Microsoft username service for gaming that began with the Xbox Live, are able to play online, keep track of their friends' status, send and receive messages, gain and keep track of Achievements and associated Gamerscore, voice chat across platforms, and much more. Some games allow for cross-platform play, such as Shadowrun, putting Windows players against Xbox 360 players.

12.  Fat32Formatter


Setting up a new external hard drive for use with your PlayStation 3 should be a simple task. Maybe, however, when you plugged the drive into your Windows system and attempted to right-click and format it you only had two options: NTFS and exFAT, neither of which plays nice with your PlayStation.

While you could use diskpart to take care of things, not everyone enjoys command-line tinkering.  And when there's an easy-to-use alternative like Fat32Formatter -- why bother? Download the sub-200Kb Zip file, extract Fat32Formatter, and fire it up. Select a physical drive from the dropdown menu, click a partition to format, and click the start button when ready. You may also want to check the quick format box -- unless you enjoy watching grass grow or paint dry.

Just in case our less-technical readers didn't see anything out of place in the screenshot, a reminder: C: is not really a drive you want to format.



13.   McAfee SuperDAT Update

The SuperDAT utility allows you to upgrade your scanning engine and your virus signature (DAT) files. The regular DAT (X-DAT) utility only updates the DAT files. New engines are only created as needed, approximately every 3 to 6 months, so updating with the SuperDAT is not always necessary.

Trusted by individual users and large companies alike, McAfee VirusScan is the world's premier virus detection and removal solution for a major source of infection: your desktop and remote machines, as well as handheld devices.

14.  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware




If viruses are mischief, malware is mayhem. Malware doesn’t just want to disrupt your network, it wants your keystrokes, logins, passwords, address book, data, credit card information, favorite t-shirt and possibly your favorite pet.

Malware is not going away any time soon. Malware is growing, developing, constantly evolving. Malware is becoming more difficult to detect, and even harder to remove.

It's fast, it's thorough, it works well with other programs and it's multi-lingual (apparently Klingon is still in beta).
