I have previously posted about my CDROM that I made comprising all the freely downloadable software that I would need to install onto a fresh install of Windows (should I EVER need to do this again...), and today I am going to share that list of free software with you:- Firefox - Mozilla's browser which I prefer over Microsoft's IE - this is the very first bit of software that I would select.
- AVG free
- Malware Bytes - the two best security programs that I have come across for combating viruses and malware.
- Spybot
- Stinger
- HiJack This - the next three best pieces of software for combating an already infected system if it is a recovery task that needs to be carried out.
- BCwipe - software that security-wipes a hard-disk
- CCleaner - a great piece of software that hunts out all the bits of data that you really don't need and zaps them for you.
- Easus Partition Magic - great for copying partitions and hard drives.
- Syncback - great little program for creating automated backups.
- Nero Burning - CD/DVD burning software always comes in useful.
- Thunderbird - good alternative email software from Mozilla.
- and finally
- Open Office - real alternative to MS Office and fully compatible, the whole suite for free...
So that's my 'emergency tool kit' and new install CD, most of these are free for personal use (not commercial) or time limited/feature limited - I won't give out the links, just google for 'free download...' (insert software name).
What others would you have on your disk??
