Along with AppCleaner
AppCleaner comes highly recommended as a free alternative for deleting a program along with its associated files. But did you know that the developer, FreeMacSoft, also has two other free products: LiteIcon and SecureFiles.
LiteIcon provides a simple way of changing system icons using a drag and drop interface. Your current icons are displayed in a window. To make a change, drag in a new one. And if you want to go back, it can easily be restored. This is an interesting way of getting around the somewhat cumbersome method of opening Get Info and using copy and paste to change an icon.
SecureFiles creates encrypted disk images — just type in a name and set its maximum size and password. A new volume appears on the desktop and you can start dragging files into it. The program uses 128-bit AES encryption, which has been adopted by the U.S. government.
