DDownloads : Download and Install Applications for Windows

When you buy a new PC and use it for the first time, you have to install dozens of applications on it. For example, you have to have an antivirus for protection, a decent web browser like Google Chrome, an email client of your choice, a document editor and more. But downloading and installing them from their individual websites takes too long and is a very frustrating task. DDownloads, a freeware application, can help you download and install hundreds of applications for Windows from a single window interface.

DDownloads is a simple tool that allows you to download hundreds of free applications on your computer at the click of a button. You can download DDownloads from its website. The download is available as an installer. After the installation, you can run it from its desktop shortcut. It shows up a window where the applications are listed category-wise or alphabetically in the left side. There are many different categories of applications to choose from like Antivirus, Graphic Editor, Malware Removal and many more. You can also search for an application using the search box on the top-right corner. When you select an application, its information (including website, download link, download page link, whether portable edition is available etc.) is displayed on the right side.
