Software for Free
Software for Free – Completely Legal, Secure and Free
So what is the best free windows software available? There are many websites out there offering free software but as with many “free” offers on the Internet these often turn out to be hoaxes as the software turns out to be a trial version or worse still is found to contain viruses or spyware. I decided to put together a list of completely free software for the Windows Operating System that I have used and found not only to be free but also to be extremely useful:
- Skype VOIP – allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other Skype users is free while international and mobile calls are at greatly reduced prices. Other features include instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing. A “must have” software program for cost conscious companies. Highly recommended. [ Download Skype Now ]
- AVG Anti-Virus - a highly recommended anti-virus protection tool and in my opinion the Best Free Windows Software available on the Internet. More robust and equally as secure as the fee paying alternatives offered by Norton and McAfee. [ Download AVG Anti-Vius Now ]
- Open Office – open source (free) alternative to Microsoft Office. Ideal for home computer use or for small / start-up companies who wish to keep costs down. [ Download Open Office Now ]
- Spybot Search & Destroy – detects and removes malicious spyware. Spyware silently tracks your online actions to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge. [ Download Spybot Now ]
- PC Tools Firewall Plus – a good firewall for protecting Windows users against threats on the Internet, and is far better than the built-in firewall due to its easier-to-use GUI As well as level of customization. Download PC Tools Firewall Plus Now
- Mozilla Firefox - an award-winning Web browser – fast, secure and fully customizable to your online needs. [ Download Mozilla Firefox Now ]
- Mozilla Thunderbird – a powerful email application which is extremely secure and fully customizable to your personal email needs. [ Download Mozilla Thunderbird Now ]
- FileZilla - a fast and reliable FTP client and server with lots of useful features and an intuitive interface. Ideal for uploading pages to your website. [ Download Filezilla Now ]
- VLC Media Player - a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG, DivX, mp3, etc. ) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. [ Download VLC Now]
Please feel free to comment below or recommend additional software not listed above. I will continue to add to the Software for Free list as I come across additional free windows software that proves worthwhile.
