Essential Programs when using a Windows Operating System
Windows comes bundled with a variety of programs that will allow you to do very basic functions, but the software that comes with the OS is usually inferior to some alternatives. Below I have listed some of the best programs to maximize your PC's potential, and the best part is that all of the software is free for home use.
Mozilla Firefox - Simply the best web browser available.
CCleaner - Extremely useful for keeping your PC free of useless or harmful files.
Lavasoft's AdAware - Excellent for adware removal.
Mozilla Thunderbird - A wonderful alternative to Microsoft Outlook.
VLC - The most versatile media player to date.
Comodo Firewall Pro or ZoneAlarm Firewall - Prevents attacks on your computer.
Avast! AntiVirus - A good and free antivirus program.
