Its been a while since I chalked my favorite freeware software for a windows pc (to be exact it was a 2008 post here). So here is a more upto date list of my favorite freewares.
- Avast Home Edition: I’ve been a ardent user of AVG Personal edition but the latest Avast Home Edition 5 with its excellent user interface and with various protective shields like Web, Mail, P2P,IM etc makes it a good protection for the PC
- OpenOffice : For years now, Openoffice has been my favorite office suite. Now with its capability to open and view even Office 2010 files like docx, xlsx its a excellent software with all the features of a full fledged office suite.
- VLC Player : For a while I’ve been using K-Lite codec (i think it still plays all the format ), I’ve now switched over to VLC player for its easy to use interface and ability to play mp4 files much better than other multimedia player.
- Firefox & Thunderbird : My favorite browser is still Firefox and with latest 3.6 browsing is much secure and easier. And thunderbird 3 has made setting up email much easier but with its customary security features still intact.
- Peazip : A excellent compression utility with its ability to handle zip,rar,iso files.
- CCleaner : A tiny software but excellent to clean all the junk files in a system with now extra features like restore point deletion and startup program cleaner etc.
For those buying a new pc / laptop or looking for free altrenatives for your windows pc the above list should be a excellent starter. Will try to list further more freewares in a future post.
