SPAMfighter is the best in this category. The need for pop-up stopper utilities has fallen away in recent months as many browsers such as Firefox now have this function built in. However, dedicated pop-up and AdBlockers do a much more efficient job - with AdBlock being the best all rounder. However, there are plenty of other tracking and privacy issues when it comes to your browser.
While the default search algorithms of both Windows and Mac have improved over the years, I personally still feel like they can be slow. When trying to find a file or email, the last thing you want to be doing is sitting there waiting for the results to load.
Not to mention that in most cases results are loaded in an incomprehensible format. Lookeen helps overcome this by integrating with your platform, searching quicker, and displaying results in an easy to view format. Simply put, Lookeen is the best desktop search tool around. Google Photos, once Picasa, is the new offering from Google that helps you keep your images in sync.
While I agree that Photos is great if you have a Mac, if not all of your devices are Apple, then it can cause a bit of an issue. Like with Google Chrome, Google Photos is owned by Google and hence can be intruding on your privacy, so you may wish to consider XnView instead if this is important to you.
Google Photos is available for all operating systems and can help you easily manage and backup your photos at the same time. There are lots of text editors and Notepad replacements. Some of these aspire to be programming editors while others try to be word processors. It has a Notepad-like interface combined with tabbed document windows and the ability to open as many documents as you like with no file size limitations. On top of this, it has plugins that help you view your text easier, such as for programming languages, and if you close the window, it will save any unsaved text files for future use.
Keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys are an excellent way to speed up the way you work. With AutoHotkey you can add even more keyboard shortcuts. However, not only will you be able to carry out simple predefined tasks, but you will also be able to create code to run more complex tasks at the click of a button!
Often your registry can be full of bloat and unwanted entries. It's amazing how quickly BitTorrent has become one of the major download formats. With good reason, too: it's fast, equitable and efficient. If you haven't yet installed a BitTorrent client on your PC, you should as there are some great free bittorent clients available. It is not quite as fully featured as others, but qBitTorrent features torrent prioritization, torrent querying, selective content download, torrent creation, remote access, RSS subscription, a media player, and built-in torrent search.
Perhaps most importantly, this volunteer-developed software has no ads and does not try to bundle crapware into the installation. While you might return to some of these in the future, many of these will become useless.
It automatically sorts your bookmarks, deletes duplicates, and helps you clear out any unwanted links. This way your bookmarks folder will only contain the links that are vital to you.

There are many, MANY useful free network monitoring tools out there, and which ones an IT pro uses is often up to personal preference or the specifics of their work environment. Ping is great. Traceroute is better. But both fall short in modern networks and especially with internet-based targets because the internet is intrinsically multi-path. A packet has multiple ways to get to a target at any moment. Traceroute NG does that and avoids the single biggest roadblock to ping and traceroute accuracy—ICMP suppression—at the same time.
This tool gets that information quickly, simply, and displays the results clearly. We mentioned Wireshark over in the non-monitoring monitoring tools section because of its flexibility, utility, and ubiquity. This utility will take Wireshark data and parse it out to show some important statistics simply and clearly.
Specifically, it collects, compares, and displays the time for a three-way-handshake versus the time-to-first-byte between two systems. Effectively, it shows you whether a perceived slowdown is due to the network three-way handshake or application response time to first byte.
This can be an effective way to narrow down your troubleshooting work and focus on solving the right problem faster. So, this free tool is something of a secret weapon for engineers who need to get miraculous tasks done on the cheap.
