[/SIZE]Do you want to secure and fit your computer or data with qualit
software without paying a cent. That dream is do-able in these tigh
times because a swathe of modern software positively wants to be free.
Here are 10 free programs around I have been used and trusted.

1. Avast!

www.avast.com

Fail to install antiviral software on Windows and a worm or slice o
spyware will invade your hard drive eventually. The highly praised fre
antiviral option Avast! offers automatic, around-the-clock protectio
without complexity.

2. Easeus Partition Master

www.partition-tool.com

As Partition Magic alternative, EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition i
a FREE disk partitioning utility that offers a powerful range o
functions such as resizing partitions, formatting partitions, copyin
partitions, creating new partitions, deleting partitions, hidin
partitions, changing drive letters, setting active partitions, and
handful other functions.

3. StripMail

www.dsoft.com.tr/stripmail

Every bit as slick as its name, StripMail rids texts of awkwar
formatting and clutter, magically zapping the character ">" fro
forwarded e-mails for instance. The only minor minus, which also applie
to Avast!, is that it requires registration.


4. OpenOffice.org

www.openoffice.org

So you find Microsoft Word buggy and expensive. Consider thi
open-source word-processing program, which offers all the essentials an
rarely crashes. OpenOffice.org also makes producing PDFs a snap ye
demands far less processing power than its rival.

5. SystemCare

www.iobit.com

A Click A Day For PC Clean, Repair, Protection & Optimization
Advanced SystemCare Free (formerly Advanced WindowsCare Personal) has
one-click approach to helping protect, repair, clean, and optimize you
PC. With over 20,000,000 downloads since 2006, this fantastic
award-winning, free program is a "must-have" tool for your computer
100% safe and clean with no adware, spyware, or viruses.
Don't waste money on expensive "registry cleaners" to fix your PC whe
Advanced SystemCare Free will repair, tune, and maintain it for you!

6. Chrome

www.google.com/chrome

Browser wars newcomer Google Chrome has compatibility issues with som
mainstream sites. Still, Chrome is solid, streamlined, fast an
different. Both web addresses and search strings go into the Omnibox
which processes information particularly quickly if you right-click an
select paste and go. Even more of a winner than Firefox.

7. Skype

www.skype.com

Despite its remarkable cost-cutting capability, many entrepreneur
still overlook Skype. The communication software offers free phone call
to anyone in the world who is logged on to the system, which runs ove
the internet. The sound quality is better than you might think and
improving.

8. ClipMagic

www.clipmagic.com

ClipMagic could use an interface makeover from Apple. Despite th
inelegance of the clipboard extender, once mastered it is handy. I
enables you to copy and keep multiple bits of written information o
images then paste or merge them at whim. In a nutshell, ClipMagic spell
control and convenience.

9. VLC media player

www.videolan.org/vlc

Nothing is more frustrating than receiving a video file and bein
unable to play it. Many users fiddle with codecs (encoding/decodin
mechanisms). Simply downloading and firing up VLC automatically enable
you to handle almost any video file format.

10. Deleted File Recovery

http://www.easeus-deletedrecovery.com/

Whenever I encounter data loss because I mistakenly delete the files o
folders,,I could retrieve them in short time with Deleted File Recovery
This data recovery software supports Windows 200/2003/XP/Vista, free u
from trouble of data loss.

Here are 10 free software I used Since I own the computer, why shoul
we pay for the software. There are always freeware for your computer

Why is it FREE
Usually a catch if something is free
Maybe viruses, Trojans all sorts of nasty things

For me I would rather pay and have piece of mind

Actually "Paying" does not guarantee anything. There are a number of so
called security products you can pay for which are riddled with malware.
