    The site is updated on a regular basis, as are all the programmes, so don't worry about trial periods etc. Just rerun it again and you'll see. If you have a firewall you may have to sit with it at the beginning to give the various programmes access permission.

    It's definitely an awesome site and well worth running it!

    There is a link on the left 'Best free utilities' and this shows the top 46 programs for various windows based stuff i.e. anti-virus, firewall, e-mail client, notepad replacer etc etc etc

    Well worth a look!
