The Editors' Choice List: Our Selection of the Best PC Freeware

The editors' choice list, where you'll find the best freeware on our site. Many freeware products here are as good as or better than their commercial counterparts.

To get onto this list a product impress our editors with its usefulness and professionalism.

Our volunteer editors did the difficult work in their freeware reviews, choosing a broad selection of must have free programs, exquisitely rare freeware treasures, and "Gizmo's Freeware Top Picks".

Caution: Some of these recommendations involve risky tasks like cleaning the registry or installing touchy software that may conflict with your system, so be sure to make restore points or image/backup first.
