My Favourite Softwares

[celtish]

Here are some of them ... (Advice about updates or errors is appreciated)

AVG Free edition This anti-virus product has been continuously refined since it was first released in 1991 and now offers very impressive protection capabilities. It's relatively small, light on resources, has regular automatic updates and handles email scanning. There is a free and a pro version, the only difference being that the free version has a few non-critical features disabled and has no direct technical support.

Mozilla Firefox Internet Explorer is a good browser but it has become such a target for malicious exploits that it is now a major security risk.

OpenOffice.org Open Source project for the successor to StarOffice (a productivity suite ; includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentations, and more)

IrfanView Includes scanner management and TWAIN acquisition, sophisticated image editing, format conversion, audio-video file playing and more. Freeware by Irfan Skiljan. CAVEAT: On the latest version, uncheck the two boxes installing an eBay toolbar and browser toolbar buttons - unless, of course, you want them!

Spybot - Search and Destroy PepsiMK Software's freeware can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer.

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack K-Lite Codec Pack is a big freeware collection of codecs and related tools. Designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your audio and movie files. This is the latest version compatible with Win98SE.

Java Runtime Environment Java freeware allows you to run applications called 'applets' that are written in the Java programming language allowing you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D. Many cross-platform applications also require this to run.
