For Hardware Monitoring :

1) CPU and Hard Drives : NHC or Notebook Hardware Control. U need to download Microsoft Framework 2.0 first

2) GPU temps : If ur using Nvidia card, use NVtemplogger, for ATi suppose u can use Rivatuner v2.01 but yesterday i went thru with someone and we couldnt get it done. Rivatuner works like a charm for Nvidia cards. FOR RIVATUNER, I'll do step-by-step tutorial on how to monitor GPU or GPUs (in case u have SLi) by request.. If not i'll assume u guys know how-to DIY.

I have seen others already post alot lot of useful software.. So i might add up anything that isnt listed yet..

Foxit Reader: Instead of Adobe Reader.. this works faster.

Free Anti-Virus : Avast !


Hitman Pro: Hitman Pro is a useful anti-spyware remover. With this software it will download like 10 or more anti-spyware over the net and then INSTALL, SCAN and UNINSTALL for you with only one click of START button. the only downside is it takes awhile as it needs the whole anti-spywares over the net to trace spyware on ur laptop but it tracks everything.

I'll list more if you specifically want more free programs for entertainment or other purposes.. like image resizer on ur right click menu etc..
