Contributed by: Email on 09/11/2011 08:31 AM [ Comments ]
(Updated over weekend if needed)
A slower week for new and updated downloads but still a big week for really popular updated software as you can see by the list below. We have started the IOBit Protected Folder giveaway on Facebook and have 500 keys to pass out. Don't forget our newsletter. In typical Majorgeeks style, we send it out every week or two with things you might have missed and exclusive deals including giveaways. Not your typical newsletter.

And now for all the downloads you might have missed:
New this week (oldest listed first):
Mozilla Firefox 7.0 Beta 5:
Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source Web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation.
Majorgeeks: Firefox 3? 5? 6x? Portable? 8.0a2 Aurora? Confused? Then this won't help; another version to choose from. Yay?

NetworkTrafficView 1.00:
NetworkTrafficView was built to be a small and easy-to-use network monitoring tool that captures the packets that pass through your network adapter.
Majorgeeks: Nir Sofer must have 100 utilities out there almost all under 100 kb and all highly rated. You can't go wrong with his utilities.

PortScan 1.19:
Find all active devices on your network. Discover the ip address and available services for each network device.
Majorgeeks: Look at all open ports and devices with this free 228 kb tool.

IMG to ISO 1.0:
IMG to ISO is a free small software utility, as its name suggests, it can convert the IMG image files into the ISO image files.
Majorgeeks: A very niche tool, which Majorgeeks is all about. If you do not know what an IMG or ISO is you can safely move on.

BDlot DVD ISO Master 2.1:
BDlot DVD ISO Master is the first free software that specializes in saving any DVD to ISO file in the world. It also works as a DVD burner as it can burn any ISO file to DVD/CD/Blu-ray disc easily.
Majorgeeks: Making a copy of your DVD's should be easy. This free tool might just be what you need.

Must have updated software this week (oldest listed first):
CCleaner Slim 3.10.1525:
Realtek High Definition Audio drivers for Vista and Windows 7. Realtek is a popular on-board sound card found on many brand name computers and motherboards.
Majorgeeks: CCleaner is almost a household name. The slim version does not include a toolbar however you can opt out of the toolbar on install of the regular version, so it's hardly worth waiting a week for the slim version to release.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair 1.0.1:
Tweaking.com - Windows Repair is an all-in-one repair tool to help fix a large majority of known Windows problems including registry errors and file permissions as well as issues with Internet Explorer, Windows Update, Windows Firewall and more.
Majorgeeks: Great program for fixing errors in any situation but especially after a malware problem has been removed.

Tweaking.com - System Information 1.0.1:
Tweaking.com - System Information is designed to pull information about your system in the fastest possible way.
Majorgeeks: Very cool and fast way to find out what's inside your computer.

Mozilla Firefox 6.0.2 Final:
Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source Web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation.
Majorgeeks: Hot on the heals of 6.0.1 comes 6.0.2.

Pegasus Mail 4.6.2:
Patch My PC is a portable and reliable utility designed to check your system against the current version of Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash, Mozilla Firefox, Oracle Java, Apple Quicktime, and more!
Majorgeeks: Always on the lookout for cool free mail programs, this one is worthy of a look. It has been around longer than Majorgeeks, is updated on a regular basis and just works great. Did I mention it was free?
http://majorgeeks.com/Pegasus_Mail_d2046.html
K-Lite Codec Pack Update 7.7.2 Build 2011-09-06:
K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and DirectShow filters. Those components are needed for encoding and decoding various audio and video formats.
Majorgeeks: One of our most popular, highest rated codec packs. If you were on the fence about which pack to try, this is it.
http://majorgeeks.com/K-Lite_Codec_Pack_Update_d5347.html
TuneUp Utilities 2011 10.0.4400.20:
TuneUp Utilities can make your Windows operating system faster, more comfortable and more secure with just a few mouse clicks.
Majorgeeks: Typically not a fan of 50 dollar shareware, this one is actually worth every dollar for an all in one system tweaker and maintenance.
http://majorgeeks.com/TuneUp_Utilities_2011_d3891.html
TeamViewer QuickSupport 6.0.11117:
Desktop sharing has never been easier: With TeamViewer you will be able to connect to the desktop of a partner anywhere on the Internet.
Majorgeeks: Any geek has to fix their friends, family and second cousins computer occasionally. Why go to their house when this free utility lets you connect quickly and securely? Love it, love it, love it.

Avast! Free Edition 6.0.1289:
Avast! is a package of applications that aim to protect your computer from a possible virus infection or other malware threat.
Majorgeeks: Why pay 50, 60 or even 70 dollars for free anti-virus? You have a few known choices like Avast, Avira and AVG. Avast always seems to pull more false positives than I like but then again, they all do.

Patch My PC 2.0.0 Final:
Patch My PC is a portable and reliable utility designed to check your system against the current version of Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash, Mozilla Firefox, Oracle Java, Apple Quicktime, and more!

UltraEdit 17.20.0.1016:
UltraEdit is a powerful disk-based text editor, programmer's editor, and hex editor that is used to edit HTML, PHP, java script , Perl, C/C++, and a multitude of other coding/programming languages.
Majorgeeks: While Majorgeeks leans towards free stuff, UltraEdit is the baddest text editor available. I purchased it personally once and am about to purchase it again. It's that good. If you are a power user of Microsoft Notepad or are using a replacement editor, give this 30-day trial a spin. Maybe you won't want to spend the cash but I think you will agree it's awesome.
