FreeWare

Freeware:
1) Free Photoshop Alternative- Why pay almost $700 for  Photoshop when GIMP is the best FREE alternative to Photoshop. GIMP is free to download, user friendly, and does almost what Photoshop does. I use it all the time and I think its a great alternative to Photoshop. You can download GIMP here. Or direct link here.

2) Free Anti-Virus - Their are plenty of free Anti-Virus software out their but the main ones, in my opinion, are Avast and AVG. So far I only use Avast. My computer runs great and fast since my viruses have been removed. You can download Avast here. And AVG here.

3)Free firewall- The best free firewall is ZoneAlarm. It is really secure and careful of what goes on in your computer. It gives you popups when unusual activities are happening. If you know the activities you can continue whatever you are doing. Really user-friendly as well. Install and Protected. Download here.

4)Free Microsoft Office Alternative- The best alternative to Microsoft Office is OpenOffice. I have always used it since my trial to Microsoft Office ended. It has everything from excel to power point, and even word. You can also save it in office format. Open Office is available to download here.
