No, they are just examples, if i mention them all, it will be so much.

 

[Purshu_Pro]

You Could have mentioned 7zip for an alternative. Or We could say winrar is itself a freeware

 

[Purshu_Pro]

Well Sinpping tools which is a built in tool to capture your screen in windows OS would be my choice, its not a must use, but a better userfriendly program and an alternative..

When I see "vouch for this", I can easily guess you are a member of HF

The worst is that I never vouch for a single product haha ! I never went in the Marketplace and I never want to go there too, I hate that place. Only scams and drama. When I say "vouch" it's a way for me to see that I approve and agree haha. Also I thought that vouch was used accross many forums ? On d2jsp at least it's used.
