Just The Essentials
Chapter: The Story
Yesterday’s survey seemed to indicate that the vast majority of readers identify with Bob (a staggering 82%), while only 4% idenfified with Pam. Cast your vote before the weekend’s out, if you haven’t already. Geek gals, you need to represent!
And speaking of the subject header,
I recently had to reinstall Windows7 (long story, filled with trauma – but I’ll spare you the ugly details). So, I’m back to a virgin copy of Windows 7. I’ve installed 7-Zip, Google Chrome and Dropbox, but I’m looking for more. In the comments below, could you point me to some must-have freeware apps and utilities I could benefit from on that platform? I would be ever so grateful.
Thanks!

It’s not a single app so much as a great way to reinstall stuff.
As for individual apps, Revo Uninstaller, CCleaner and Malwarebytes are all quite good.
