Anti-Virus Software
AVG Free Edition – AVG Free Edition is my AV Software of choice and it’s free for home, personal use. It offers good protection without bogging down your system or draining your wallet. Unlike some of the expensive alternatives (Norton, McAfee, and TrendMicro), it rares causes problems with your PC or Internet connection and doesn’t trash your machine when if you decide to uninstall it.
Free CD Burning Software
CDBurnerXP – This application is from a company in Sweden and I came across this when it was hard to find disc burning software for Vista 64. It is a great little program that supports most burners and features.
Easy-to-Use Remote Access
LogMeIn.com Free – If you are looking for a simple and secure way to access your PC remotely for personal use, this gem is for you.
Web Browsers
FireFox – My favorite browser and has great plugin support.
Google Chrome – My second favorite browser and slowly gaining ground. There are a lot of neat features and pages load super fast. Still not enough mainstream support for me to make it my sole browser.
