Recommended Software Downloads
BY STEPHEN DYE
There is alot of good software out there that many people never knew existed. What follows below is a list of software that I recommend. When I fix computers, these are some of the applications and utilities I install for my customers.
Please note that as download locations are always changing, I am not linking to any of these files. Most of them are available on Download.com or by searching the Google engine.
************************************************
Winzip - a pretty good compression utility.
Adobe Acrobat Reader - used to view .pdf files.
Firefox - an excellent web browser.
Audacity - an audio file editor. I use this to make ringtones for my cellular phone.
Itunes - simply the best digital audio organizer out there.
VLC player - an amazing video player. I like it best because I can change the aspect ratio to match my widescreen monitor.
Spybot Search & Destroy - a great spyware remover/ protector.
Ad Aware - another great antispyware utility.
Picasa - a great free photo editor and organizer.
Azureus - my bittorrent client of choice.
Please note that this list is still under development due to time constraints.
