I’m running WinXP on a Toshiba laptop. I’m willing to pay if I must, but of course I’d prefer free. Even better than said pointer would be a site that you’ve used that rates such free utiltiies.

I should say that I’ve already Googled for this; I’m looking for sites people have experience with. Or sites that include such ratings. It’s just that I’m irrationally more likely to trust Dopers’ words than other complete strangers. ;j
