Computer Software

I am regularly asked, recommend a piece of software to perform certain tasks for clients, friends and family so that they can go and buy it. Usually I end by pointing in the direction of a free download online that I’m using them for years. So I am going to share with you my list of downloads, the stock (IMHO) all computer users should have installed.

Paint.net
Missing advanced functions of a program like Adobe Photoshop, this little beauty, a large amount of image manipulation. In addition to standard features such as fill color and line drawing Paint.net / form has a variety of other functions like a magic wand to select specific colors and color gradients. There are also a variety of effects to enhance your photos or stylize more. Most tools of this program have a variety of parameters and the effect can be as subtle or obvious as you want.

AVG Free
To all my usual recommendations, which is usually with shocked expressions of skepticism and AVG Free. Unfortunately, it seems that the idea of ​​free software and get the software to be of lower quality are associated in our minds as consumers. But as AVG specializes in security software for over 20 years, it should not be surprised to learn, this is an excellent piece of software to protect your computer. Added a paid version is available with additional features available, but the benefits do not justify for me to buy.

Open Office
Open Office is a free alternative to Microsoft Office, which simply left in the lurch. It includes a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation software maker, 3D graphics package, the program database and equation editor. Of course, these are not a Microsoft product names differently, for example, you have come to know that Word is called Excel Writer and Calc. Ironically, Open Office looks much closer to Microsoft Office, which I grew up with and is certainly much more intuitive than the latest offerings from Microsoft. That with the fact that the latest version is fully compatible with Office 2007 file types and had a much needed increase in speed means that there is never a better time, coupled to download a copy.

Firefox / Google Chrome
Firefox and Chrome are alternatives to using Internet Explorer as your web browser. It amazes me to think how many people I know that you are on the little blue “e” on her desk and opens the Internet to speak completely unaware of an alternative (which is probably a long way to explain how IE still controls three quarters navigation market). What you need to choose whether you decide to go for an alternative is questionable, because at the same time, Firefox and Chrome, Firefox has more speed and stability problems of the latest version of Chrome has had to offer some security holes.

Extended Care System
NCP is the best way I found the speed of a PC by far. It is not only easy to configure and use, but not too much pressure on your system resources, so you leave that may be blowing in the background if you want. Just tell him the type of inspection, which has the best to you and to do them, he returns with the results and asks for permission before it resolves potential problems. I was surprised a few times when I return to a website and I found my user name and password from me and the computer as a result of a completely forgotten, but I can not blame the CSA for this really. The only real complaint I have is how many times I re-install the updates doe had, but it’s a small price to pay for quality software.

While all of these downloads are free, the developers involved in making them available for us to eat. So if you have a few spare pounds you show your appreciation and pleasure if you can not be sure to recommend your friends / family, so that can spread the word.
