2. Easy Cleaner – the best free registry cleaner

Easy cleaner is an average registry cleaner that can repair damaged Windows registry entries. This tool also has the registry backup facility. This is an on-demand tool, which means you need to run it manually (cannot automate). Visit http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm to download Easy Cleaner.

3. Eraser – The best free tool to delete files permanently.

Your first thought may be that when you 'delete' the file, the data is gone. Not quite, when you delete a file, the operating system does not really remove the file from the disk; it only removes the reference of the file from the file system table. The file remains on the disk until another file is created over it.

This is a risk for sensitive information that you have deleted from your PC. Eraser can permanently delete the files from your Computer. Visit http://eraser.heidi.ie/ to download this free PC maintenance tool.

4. AVG – the best free antivirus program

AVG has been known as the best free antivirus for many years. However, this is not as good as premium products such as Norton. If you are using the Internet heavily then this is not for you.
