Foxit Reader - Foxit Reader is a free PDF document viewer and printer. Foxit Reader supports Windows Me/2000/XP/2003/Vista. Here are a few of the features/benefits:

* Incredibly small: The download size of Foxit Reader is only 2.55 M, which is a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 M size.
* Breezing-fast: When you run Foxit Reader, it launches instantly without any delay. You are not forced to view an annoying splash window displaying company logo, author names, etc.
* Annotation tool: Foxit Reader allows you to draw graphics, highlight text, type text and make notes on a PDF document and then print out or save the annotated document.
* Text converter: Convert the whole PDF document into a simple text file.
* High security and privacy: Foxit Reader highly respects the security and privacy of users and will never connect to the Internet without users' permission. While other PDF readers often silently connect to the Internet in the background. Foxit PDF Reader does not contain any spyware.
* Includes a multimedia player feature allowing Foxit users to not only read PDFs, but to watch and listen to the audio/video elements coming with PDFs as well.

YouConvertIt - Convert any media file format (documents, images, audio, video and archives) without buying or installing anything on your PC.

OpenOffice.org Office Suite
Replacement for Microsoft Office. OpenOffice suite includes a word processor, a presentation program, and spreadsheet program, a database front-end program (like MS Access) and much more. It can also open and save Microsoft Office and WordPerfect Office file formats, and uses OpenDocument formats by default. Open Office is full featured, and can handle most everyone's needs. Available for Windows, Linux and Macs.

CCleaner
CCleaner is a freeware system-optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!
Note: Office To-Go recommends UNCHECKING to delete cookies and passwords so they are not deleted. This is a terrific program.
