This is the copy and paste of "BEST One-STOP Free Windows Software - 2014 " copied from My Digital Life forums posted by Mr Acrsn.
I would like to thank Mr Acrsn and MDL for giving me his permission to copy the contents to share here.
Why I copy paste it here is because this forums has every thing or offers best information, useful for it's visitors and members but one has to search a bit to get freeware for his/her needs. So please add your freeware (useful if not mentioned here).
P.S- (Admn. and Mods note) Please delete this thread if found inappropriate to be posted here.

Most popular applications for 2014.

For XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8


All these applications are Reliable. They WORK GREAT in most system.
This software is FREE...ALL are malware/spyware CLEAN...

Links are directly to the developers/providers site so you can check out all the details and features of any application.
You will ALWAYS get the up-to-date version


Browse the categories and download any you like for install.

Couldn't be easier!

Note: Optional items and/or toolbars are many times auto-selected in freeware. Carefully look over each install dialogue, select 'custom' install and be sure to deselect anything you don't want...

Great list. Really a one stop freeware list... Thanks for posting it.
If you have a new popular program, or one I have missed, let me know... I'll add them.
Now that you asked, I'd like to add Tresorit (https://tresorit.com/) secure file syncing and sharing.
Just for the fun sake, I'd like to add this.... They are inviting everyone to hack their service. If you succeed they'll pay you.... $25000.... Tada.

thanks for this list

the p2p software can very much lead to trouble with a pc in more ways than one and should have a warning about it's use since this is a security forum

other than that thanks again

:)
