Useful free software
Everybody loves a freebie, and when it comes to software there is plenty of freebies around! So here is my list of favorite free useful applications for Windows.
Avast Free Antivirus – There are a fair few anti viruses programs around that are free and in my opinion this is one of the best. Avast has a powerful detection engine, has frequent updates, a nice clean user interface and does not hog system resources. Download from here
Foxitpro – If your anything like me you hate Adobe reader, I could probably write a book on why I hate it but instead I will offer you a free lightweight alternative called Foxit. Unlike Adobe reader, foxit is small, compact and does a great job of reading pdf files, at the same time it wont hassle you every five minutes for pointless updates. Download link here
Utorrent – Probably the smallest bit torrent client around, utorrent takes up practically no memory or hard drive space and does its job perfectly at downloading and uploading torrent data. Check out their download page here
Malware bytes – In my opinion one of the best malware and spyware scanners there is. It is frequently updated to give up to date protection against the latest malware threats. Sadly the free version does not offer real time protection. For real time malware protection I would recommend STOPzilla, you can check out my STOPzilla review here. And the free version of malware bytes can be found here.
