CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that its fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

Recuva (pronounced recover) is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!

This is my Pack of the Free (and/or open source) utilities I love. I'd love to know what you think of it (my contact info is on the right). I'd also love to see a Pack you create. I think Packzoola has so much potential to let those of us who live and breathe software (and everybody else too, cuz aren't we all slaves to the box?) learn from each other's experience and knowledge. For example, I'm looking for software to help me manage my sports training -- can someone make a Pack with the 'best of' and send me the link?
