In this article I am going to discuss the best free software. As mentioned all programs are free for download. I will try to include downloads for all the main areas of computing, for example I will have one for antivirus, one firewall etc.
Antivirus Software
One of the best free antivirus software packages currently on the market is probably Avast, this antivirus offers gigantic protection and one of the best detection rates when compared to other antivirus programs.
Malware Remover
Malwarebytes is a spacious free malware remover, you can employ this program for free as a stand alone remover.
Firewall Protection
A helpful free firewall is Outpost firewall. Probably one of the easiest to configure and space up it is very useful for newcomers to computer security.
Internet Browser
My favourite browser is Google Chrome. There are many free extensions available for Google Chrome and different ways you can customize the appearance and feel of the browser.
Link Scanner
WOT is a free link scanner. This program will scan any links when you search in Google or another search engine and choose whether they are good, risky or unknown. It then provides you with a green light for obedient, red light for terrible and an amber light for unknown.
FTP Client
Probably the best FTP client I have found would be FireFTP, this is an add-on for Mozilla Firefox.
Office Software
Open Office is a free office suite which includes all the usual programs you would collect in the Microsoft counterpart.
