I'd like to consult for individuals reguarding basic functioning, protection & maintenance of home computers. I don't mind giving licensed software to friends. But to strictly customers (whom I'd charge for my time) I'd like to install only freeware. Unless of course they want to buy it from a vendor. CYA (protecting myself). To this end I'll post what I'm looking for a freeware version of, or does the same or very similar tasks. I want to keep it real simple for them. So I figure for AV I'll give them AVG free. And Spybot S&D, Star Downloader, DustBuster XP, XP AntiSpy & ePrompter. Now I need a freeware version of a defrag utility (because standard windows defrag prog sucks). Preferably not Diskeeper Lite. Also need a free prog thats like WinRAR. The last basic prog I want is something similar to Norton's WinDoctor thats free. So in conclusion I'm looking for a free defrag, a free zip & a free repair prog (something simple, otherwise I'd give them jv16 PT). Only true FREEWARE to be considered. Thanks all.

For an archive program, I recommend IZArc. It looks just like WinZip, but also handles RAR, BZ2, 7-ZIP and many more. Very cool program.

not really sure, but isn't there a free version of System Mechanic? If so, that's a really good prog to use for disk cleanup and the such.

what does WinDoctor do? - i'm sure its just a registry cleaner if it is i recommend RegCleaner, which is basically jv16 PT
the only free defrag program i can think of is Diskeeper Lite - which scares me with its insane clicking noises it causes my HD to make
I think ZA is a good PF, pretty much set and forget, the support website is really helpful if you need it
