Same thing topgear. FileHippo is a reputated site. afaik there is no bogus downloads or anything. Also I donot think they host everything themselves

YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator (Windows)

YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer), is the successor to MultibootISOs. It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. Contrary to MultiBootISO's which used grub to boot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI uses syslinux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB device, and reverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB, if necessary.

Aside from a few distributions, all files are stored within the Multiboot folder, making for a nicely organized Multiboot Drive that can still be used for other storage purposes.


Creating a YUMI Multiboot MultiSystem Bootable USB Flash Drive

YUMI works much like Universal USB Installer, except it can be used to install more than one distribution to run from your USB. Distributions can also be uninstalled using the same tool!

Download R-Wipe & Clean 9.7 Build 1829 Free Trial - Wipe useless files and maintain your computer privacy - Softpedia

R-Wipe & Clean was developed to be a complete R-Tools solution to wipe useless files and maintain your computer privacy. It irretrievably deletes private records of your online and off-line activities, such as temporary Internet files, history, cookies, autocomplete forms and passwords, swap files, recently opened documents lists, Explorer MRU (most recently used) lists, temporary files, and traces from more than 300 third-party applications, thus freeing up your disk space. The utility wipes files and unused disk space using either fast or secure-erase algorithms. All files and folders may be entered in wipe lists to erase them in a single procedure. Supports both the FAT and NTFS file systems. You can combine separate wiping and cleaning
tasks and launch them to begin erasing immediately or set them to begin erasing procedures as a background task at predefined times or events.

'Giveaway of the Day' was mentioned couple of times by other members in this thread but the main drawback of GOTD freeware app is thye only work for the first time - if yu need t reinstall the ap one more time the app won't work anymore - so In true sense all the GOTD provided freeware apps are time limited.

Well. Technically you are correct. But those who know how to "extract" the software from GOTD wrapper, have less problem!

 

[topgear]

^^ I know about that ap and that app itself is a open source and free to use app but GAOTD periodically updates it's wrapper software to make such tools useless :

Here's the un-wrapper app download link - using this is legit I think :
GAOTD Setup Keeper | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net

But read the Description :

Description

Sorry, but giveawayoftheday has augmented the security level of its wrapper. Keeping the intallation will not work anymore.

This software aim is to keep the setup file of the software offered by Giveaway of the Day - free licensed software daily.

so practically GAOTD just gives some users a a copy of a commercial app which is perfectly usable without any limitation for free but the catch is if one needs to reinstall it they either have to buy it or else stop using it.

Nw coming to the biggest question : what if it's a app ( provided for free by GAOTD ) which creates some files with proprietary extensions ? and the user has created some important files with it and he needs to re-install it ? or if the user got so much attached using a certain software ( provided for free by GAOTD ) - in both caase the user will but the app - so in a way GAOTD is just promoting commercial apps.

Now these types of scenarios must be covered by their EULA - but how many people properly read them ?

So I would say stop recommending GAOTD and recommend only pure free t use apps downloadble from either the author's website or a website recommended by the app makers.
