This page outlines some of the key applications within the Technicians Toolkit.
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
AVG features most of the common functions available in modern
antivirus and Internet security programs, including periodic scans,
scans of sent and received emails (including adding footers to the
emails indicating this), the ability to "heal" some virus-infected
files, and a "virus vault" in which infected files are held.
CCleaner
CCleaner allows the user to
remove
unused, unnecessary, temporary files from all internet browsers and
numerous supported applications. The program also locates and corrects
problems in the Windows Registry such as, unused file extensions and
application paths. In addition, CCleaner assists with uninstalling
applications and removing uninstallation entries for deleted programs
that have not had there respective uninstallation entries removed. Its
final feature would be to define which programs are to run at the
startup of the computer, a lot like the Microsoft Windows MSConfig
Utility.
TweakUI
Tweak UI
is a free user interface
customization application first
released by Microsoft in 1996 to aid end
users in customizing the Microsoft Windows
operating system. By itself, it does not do anything that would not
otherwise be possible. However, it provides a simple graphical user interface
for performing tweaks that otherwise would require editing the registry,
which is considered by many a daunting and risky task for novice users.
Putty

BitTorrent client for Microsoft Windows

minimal computer resources while offering functionality comparable to

browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite, managed by the

in current use worldwide, after Internet Explorer.[1]
