The most cumbersome of processes that we have to go through after installing a fresh copy of Windows is to re-install all those programs we tend to use on a daily basis. But installing all these programs from scratch can be time consuming and very frustrating; sometimes we also end up installing bloatware and other harmful garbage on our computers in the process.

Forget the frustrations with Ninite, a freeware tool that not only re-installs all frequently used freeware but also saves us from the danger of installing any bloatware on our systems.

Ninite has the great benefit of detecting the relevant bit version of your operating system, 32 or 64 bit. It will install 64 bit versions of the programs you select, without running you into any compatibility issues. The installer file downloaded can be kept on your system and doesn’t take any valuable hard disk space.

Another great advantage that comes with Ninite is that it can be used to update programs installed through it on a periodic basis. All you need to do is double-click and the rest will be taken care of. And since the process is automated, you can be assured of its safety while updating any programs using it on a regular basis.
