Freeware and updates

In the last few months Mozilla has released 5 new versions of Firefox, the Current is 9.0.1, I was wondering how many manufacturers of the freeware I use have had recent releases? Here is a list of what I use, and the current versions:
Adobe Reader                                  X
Auslogics Registry Cleaner             2.2.0.0
Auslogics Disc Defrag                     3.3.0.2
AVG Free                                         2012.0.1901
CCLeaner                                        3.14.1616 (64Bit)
DVD Shrink                                    3.2.0.15
Firefox                                            9.0.1
Gimp                                               2.6.11
Image Burn                                     2.5.6.0
Kompozer                                       .8b3
Malware Anti-Bites                        1.15.2.1300
Paint.net                                          3.5.10
Realplayer                                       15.0.13
Yahoo Messenger                            11.5

I'm thinking about trying out defraggler, just have to see what happens I guess? I'm always looking for the best freeware!!

Firefox 9.0.1 released

Firefox 9.0 was released two days ago, and an update was released yesterday for Mozilla's latest offering. Firefox 9.0 has been touted to be 30% faster that Firefox 8.0, however, you MUST update your pluggins for Firefox to perform at its best.

Here is the link to the checker: Firefox plugin checker  Here you can check the state of your pluggins, and update if neccesary, there are links to the updates as well.

Once you have updated Firefox, check for Windows updates, and run disc cleanup, and defragmenter to optimize your system.
Personally I use available freeware to optimize my computer, including:
CCleaner
Auslogics disc defragmenter, registry cleaner, and registry defragmenter.
Malware anti-bites
These are the main programs that I use to keep my system running efficiently.

Time to head off for now, other things to get accomplished yet today.

Later all!
