This is a departure from what I normally blog about. Why? Because times are tight, and the best things in life are free. The pieces of software on this list are software that I use and like.
1. Free Office Productivity Tools: A quick check online reveals that the cheapest Microsoft Office costs $140. For some people who need this software, this is way too much money then they can spend. So might I suggest an alternative? LibreOffice is a simple to use office suite that can do most of what you would use Microsoft Office for. You can read more about it here.
2. Free Antivirus Software: For some software, the only concern for the people who make the software is the funds in your bank account. But what if that software is meant to protect you? It is my belief that users should have a free option when they can't or will not pay to help keep their PC safe. There are quite a few free antivirus options out there, but my favorite is avast free antivirus. It is robust, it is light on resources so it will not slow your PC down to a crawl, and it is consistently beating paid-for products in independent tests. You can read more and download it here.
3.Free PC Optimization Software: Has your computer seen better days? Don't waste your money and buy a new one. Instead, you can download CCleaner. This software will help you clean junk off of your computer that you do not need and will even make it a little bit faster. But if your computer is really slow, a defragment might be just the thing you need.
That's it for this blog post. The above plugs were not paid for in any way by the respective companies or organizations. If you have a question, comment, or you just want to tell me how awesome I am, feel free to use the comment form below.
