The Windows 7 Freeware Machine

This is a Windows 7 version of the previous articles I wrote called The Freeware XP Machine, and The Vista Free Machine. This version is Windows 7 specific and has several additions and deletions of software I have tried based on recommendations of readers (and THANKS for the suggestions).
This is not a comprehensive list of freeware apps, there are lists like that all over the place. This is a list of apps I use and/or recommend. The goal of this list is to hopefully make your computing experience a little better and less expensive. I know that many of you already use a lot of these programs but perhaps this list would be something you might want to pass on to friends and family to help them out.

Recommend Me A VPN

helpbuttonI’m in the market for a new VPN solution for my laptop and Droid phone.

Requirements:

– Not on home server.

– 100% Windows, Android, Linux compatible. No hacks to make it work.

What are you using? Why?

Thanks!
