Top 5 Recommendations For Computer Software

A new computer, or one that has recently had an operating system installed will need some basic software for general use. Of course, free is always best, so freeware should be the primary option. The major software-types that most people need are browser, email client, word processing software, antivirus and a media player. The best options for these are:

1.Firefox
While there are other free browsers around, some of them very promising, FF is the most well-rounded of the alternative browsers. Not only does it have an army of people constantly working to improve it, it comes with a wide array of extensions that enhance its functionality.

2.Thunderbird
From the same people who made Firefox, this email software has all the features people want in their messaging client.

3.Openoffice
The best free option is Openoffice, which is the one area in which the free option is not vastly superior to the paid alternative. Still, Openoffice has the best selection of features among free word processing suites.

4.Avast
Avast provides thorough protection for a computer for the low price of nothing. It does require registration, but that is fairly quick and simple.

5.VLC Media Player
This media player plays almost every media file type in existence and definitely all of the common ones.
