| Free quality software worth mentioning that I use for my computers:
Zonealarm firewall- Rated number 1 in firewalls and yet its free.
AVG antivirus software- free for home use, rated very well
Copernic desktop search- ever have trouble finding files. Or want to find emails more quickly. This is an awesome utility. Much better then googles last I checked.
- use Firefox instead of internet explorer. Tends to have less security problems and has tabbed browsing. Along with having a drop down list of search engines to use. Add any you want.
Adobe acrobat reader
Office suite by openoffice.org- get the free microsoft like word/excel/powerpoint programs. No reason to buy office for most people.
Picasa photo software
good picture software
Adobe photo shop album - Great software for viewing your photos and organizing them.
Textpad - King of text editors, with syntax highlighting for nearly any programming language (including Pascal and Eiffel) and advanced features such as a vertical copy/paste, search/replace entire directories of files, and macros.
Keyboard Express - Global keyboard automation tool for Windows. Assign hotkeys to your repetitive keystrokes for speed.
