RODGERSPC TRUSTED SOFTWARE LIBRARY
Useful software, selected by your local tech people. Find the right tools for your computer—from everyday essentials to a little extra peace of mind.
START WITH YOUR SYSTEM
Choose a system, then search or browse.
Windows libraryScan for malware and unwanted software when something does not look right. Check the current free, trial, and paid options before installing; a scan result is evidence to review, not a promise that every threat is gone.
Keep your existing protection active unless the publisher’s installation instructions tell you how to change it safely.
A focused cleanup tool for unwanted advertising software and browser changes. Useful when the browser keeps redirecting you or an unwanted toolbar returns. Review what it finds before approving removal.
Save work first and read any restart prompt. Do not download a “cleaner” from the pop-up you are trying to remove.
Adds browser-level blocking for selected ads, trackers, and risky pages. It can help with unwanted web content; it does not replace operating-system updates or protection for everything else on the computer.
Install the extension for your actual browser. If a legitimate site stops working, review its permissions and blocking settings rather than turning every safeguard off.
Windows includes Microsoft Defender Antivirus. Open Windows Security to check which protection provider is active, review alerts, and run a scan. You may already have what you need without installing another program.
A browser page shouting “virus detected” is not the same as an alert you opened yourself in Windows Security.
Creates system-image backups for restoring a whole installation. Useful before major changes or when you want a recovery plan that covers more than a few folders. A backup is useful only if you can actually restore it.
Current Reflect is commercial software with a trial. Reflect Free is retired. Check licensing, recovery-media instructions, and a separate backup destination.
Tools for inspecting partitions, recovering files, and managing drives. Those are powerful jobs with very different risks. If files are missing, protect the source drive before trying changes.
Do not save recovered files back onto the affected drive. Stop if a drive is making unusual noises or repeatedly disconnecting.
A Windows partition-management tool for changing how a drive’s space is arranged. Useful for a planned storage change—not a harmless button to press when a drive goes missing.
Back up first. Resizing, deleting, formatting, or moving partitions can put data at risk; check the selected disk carefully.
Backup software for keeping recoverable copies of important files or a system. Choose the backup job and destination deliberately, then check that a sample file can be restored.
Keep the backup separate from the source drive. Review the current edition’s features and recovery instructions.
Shows drive-reported health information for supported HDDs and SSDs. Useful when you want to inspect a warning or record the drive model and reported status.
A “Good” report does not guarantee the drive is healthy. Do not delay protecting important files because one utility shows a green label.
Samsung’s SSD management utility for supported models. Use it to identify a compatible drive and review the features its publisher supports for that model.
Back up before a firmware update. Confirm the exact model, supported features, and power requirements before changing anything.
The current SanDisk Dashboard destination for supported drives in this product family. Check the publisher’s model list before expecting health, firmware, or management features to work.
Western Digital Dashboard transitioned to SanDisk Dashboard. Back up before firmware changes; branding alone does not establish model compatibility.
Keeps selected files available through Dropbox across connected devices. Handy for moving between computers or sharing a folder without emailing copies back and forth.
Check sync status, account storage, and sharing access. A deletion can sync too; keep a separate recovery plan for irreplaceable files.
Microsoft’s file-sync and cloud-storage service. Useful when you want selected folders available on more than one device, but first check which account and folders are actually connected.
Online-only, locally available, and backed up separately are different things. Review sync status before deleting or moving important files.
Google’s cloud file storage and sharing service. Useful for accessing documents across devices or sharing a specific file with someone who needs it.
Review who has access before sharing. Check the signed-in account and sync behavior before assuming a file exists in another location.
A cloud-backup service for supported files and systems. An option when you want copies stored away from the computer rather than relying only on a drive beside it.
Review plan coverage, exclusions, upload completion, and restore instructions. A scheduled job is not proof the initial backup finished.
A cleanup utility for selected temporary files and other data. Before using a cleaner, check Windows’ own storage tools and decide exactly what you want removed.
Review selections carefully. Cookies and saved session data can sign you out; do not treat registry cleaning as a cure for an unexplained fault.
Microsoft’s document, spreadsheet, and presentation apps. Useful when work or school requires Office formats and features. Check whether your existing account already includes the license you need.
Subscription and one-time-purchase options differ. Confirm the current license and device requirements with Microsoft before paying.
A free office suite for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. A practical option for everyday office work when you do not need every Microsoft Office feature.
Test complex layouts, macros, and formulas before relying on a converted file. Keep the original copy until the result is checked.
A free office suite for writing documents and working with spreadsheets and presentations. Check the current release and supported file formats against the job you need it to do.
Open a sample of your important documents first. Compatibility is not a promise that every layout or advanced feature transfers perfectly.
A design tool for creating items such as flyers, social posts, and presentations. Useful when you want to arrange text and images without starting with a full design application.
Check whether selected templates, images, or export options require payment, and check the license for anything you plan to publish.
A free, open-source suite for 3D modeling, animation, and related creative work. Useful when you want to build a scene or learn 3D—not a quick fix for slow graphics.
Check the current hardware requirements. Large scenes and renders can demand substantial memory, graphics capability, and cooling.
Adobe’s desktop app and product hub for its creative software. Use the official destination to review or manage the Adobe apps you actually need.
Check current subscription terms and system requirements. Do not buy a second license before checking the account you already use.
A free archive utility for opening and creating compressed files. Handy when a downloaded package or a large folder needs unpacking.
An archive is only a container. Extracting it does not make its contents safe; check the source before opening a program inside.
An archive utility for opening and creating supported compressed-file formats. An alternative when you need a graphical way to inspect or unpack an archive.
Choose an extraction folder you can find again. A password-protected archive is not proof that its contents are trustworthy.
McAfee’s official removal resource for a product that will not uninstall normally. Start with the publisher’s instructions for the exact installed product.
Save work and expect a restart if instructed. After removal, check that your intended antivirus protection is active.
AVG’s official removal resource for cleaning up an AVG installation when normal uninstallation is not enough. Follow the current product-specific instructions.
This is a removal job, not a general PC speed tool. Confirm which product you are removing and check protection afterward.
Norton’s official remover instructions for supported Norton products. Useful when the normal uninstall or reinstall process has become stuck.
Review whether the selected workflow removes or reinstalls the product. Keep account details available and confirm protection after restarting.
Avast’s official removal utility and instructions. Use it for an Avast installation that needs the publisher’s cleanup procedure.
Follow the current instructions rather than improvising Safe Mode or system-file changes. Confirm your chosen protection is active afterward.
Previously used to open supported Mac DMG disk images from Windows. The publisher has retired it, so this entry points to the notice rather than pretending a current download is available.
Retired by the publisher. Do not substitute an installer from an unknown mirror just to keep using an old link.
Reads supported Mac HFS-family disks and images from Windows. Useful when you need to inspect an older Mac-formatted drive, provided its format is supported.
Check format support first; HFS and APFS are different. For a drive with missing files or errors, protect the data before experimenting.
A Windows tool for accessing supported Mac-formatted storage. Check its current format support when you need to move files between a Mac drive and a Windows PC.
Writing support changes the drive, so keep a separate copy of important data. Check the current license and supported formats.
Adds supported APFS-drive access on Windows. Useful when you need to work with a Mac-formatted disk and have confirmed that its APFS configuration is supported.
Do not initialize or format an unfamiliar Mac drive when Windows offers to. Check encryption and version compatibility first.
Adds supported NTFS write access on macOS. Useful when a Windows-formatted drive can be read on your Mac but you need to save changes to it.
Check compatibility with your macOS release before installation. Back up important files before enabling another tool to write to the drive.
Displays hardware and system information in one place. Useful when you need the model, memory details, or other specifications before asking a compatibility question.
Treat a reading as information to investigate. A single displayed temperature or specification does not identify a failed component.
Reports processor, motherboard, and memory information. Useful when checking the parts already installed before planning a compatible upgrade.
Memory speed labels can use different units. Compare the reported information with the manufacturer’s specifications rather than assuming a number means a fault.
Reports graphics-hardware information. Useful for identifying the actual GPU and reviewing supported sensor data while investigating a graphics issue.
High readings need context: workload, cooling, and the exact GPU matter. Do not run a stress test on a machine already overheating or shutting down.
Measures the connection between this device and a test server. Useful for comparing a slow connection at different times or checking Wi-Fi against a wired test.
Pause other large transfers for a fair comparison. One result does not tell you whether the fault is Wi-Fi, the router, your provider, or the remote service.
Charts connection timing and packet-loss observations over time. Useful when an intermittent connection needs more evidence than a single speed-test result.
An intermediate router not answering probes does not alone prove it is dropping your traffic. Compare the final destination and timing before blaming one hop.
Try another name or purpose, clear the category, or check the other operating system.
