Hi friends and followers, although all the links below can be found on other pages, I thought this page with all the programs that I use or recommend would be useful, hope you agree.

IF YOU NEED DRIVERS FOR YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPEMENT TRY THIS LINK, IF YOU HAVE NO LUCK WITH THE MANUFACTURERES

I use Windows Security Essentials but those of you with an XP rip off copy will need something different
www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
Or if you prefer AVG is available now here
free.avg.com/ww.download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition#
The only problem with AVG is it defaults to scan every day and this is anoying and can slow your machine down.
You can also have a free on-line scan at this address housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/
A great free firewall is available from this link www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
It's very similar to ZoneAlarm® but doesn't keep asking you to pay, but if you want it here you are http://www.zonealarm.com/security/en-us/zonealarm-pc-security-free-firewall.htm
A very good and free anti-spyware/malware program can be found here

A test of your firewall and vulnerable ports can be done by

If you need an office suite and don't want a ripped off Microsoft copy of Office 2003 or whatever. Try this link below:- It's "Open Office"

 plus audio, video and picture editing as well. Plus the Opera browser and a email client called Thunderbird  The download is 181MB so buy the Pendrive or CD if you have a dial-up connection.
Now to complete your office suite how about am open source version of Microsoft's "Outlook" with all the features you have come to expect well here it is just click the picture


If you want a free Desktop Publisher, this is the best of the bunch.
Just click the picture and chose the Operating System you have (Windows)


Now if you need a picture editor this has to be the one, just watch the video to see how much it can do. The download is only 7 megabyte, so go ahead.The download link is beside the video.

If you wish to a little more and still don't want to pay then this paint tool is a must.
