Free computer programs

I thought I would share some freeware programs that I have used for years.

Over time your computer gets filled with remnants of programs that you uninstalled and I found CCleaner to be a pretty thorough program for removing old registry entries and junk from your computer. I have used it for years with no problems.

For spyware removal , I would recommend Ad Aware or the free beta of Microsoft defender (which I currently use). Microsoft Defender works in the background to keep your computer free of spyware and when it detects a problem you get a message and it automatically removes the offending spyware.

If you need a free virus software program, I would recommend AVG anti-virus free version which does a great job of detecting viruses and best of all it is free. It does not bog your computer down like other bloated anti-virus programs.

As a web designer I often need to find colors palettes to use in some of my work. ColorPix is a free program that allows you to pick colors from anything on the screen and import them into your graphics, web, or other program. It displays the values in RGB, HEX, HSB, and CMYK. To copy the code just click on the color format your program uses and it puts the color values in your clipboard ready to be pasted.
