FREE Great Programs for Windows 7 [2]

PCI-Z ... PCI-Z is a freeware lightweight system utility designed to provide information about (unknown) PCI (PCI-E, PCI-X...) devices.


PCI-Z is designed for detecting unknown hardware on your Windows based PC. It will help you determine vendor, device and certain details about device even if you don't have drivers installed. Software uses The PCI ID Repository, a public repository of all known ID's used in PCI devices: ID's of vendors, devices, subsystems and device classes. It is used in various programs (e.g. The PCI Utilities) to display full human-readable names instead of cryptic numeric codes.

Should I Remove It? - Download (Free)

How do I use it?

Gives detailed analysis of what a program does when its installed to your system, (like virus total) and gives you a recommendation on removing the software or not.

Includes information on how it affects startup, what entries are created as well as how it effects cpu usage. Its pretty fantastic, and I think I am going to start using it a lot more to analyze a person pc.

It also does not install any services or run at startup. This program only opens when you tell it to, although you can configure it to run in the background scanning all the downloads you initiate.

Kingsoft Office 2013 Free


Elegant Black


Classic

A great freeware office suite that does the 3 major office tasks (word processing, presentations, spreadsheets). Great support for Office 2003/2007 fileformats with a very familiar interface. It even has a Classic view for those used to the 2003 view. It is currently my office suite of choice.

That looks sweet like a good suite Kathy.

king soft office has a version for android as well that is free
