Seven essential programs for your new (or re-installed OS) PC

Hi People

Have a look at the video below and see what you think




This is a reasonable set of applications

AVG Free is good and contains an added element of good antispyware detection as well.

For a good basic web browser alternative to Internet Explorer 8 - go for Google Chrome it is clean slick and very quick. It is getting better as it matures. If it is not for you then as the man said consider Firefox and Thunderbird for email (Outlook express, Windows Live Mail, or Windows mail are the Microsoft alternatives for XP, Vista and 7 respectively - though you can get Windows mail for all three - XP and Vista are downloads). But whatever you do, you will need to keep Internet explorer installed on your PC if you use the Automatice Updates for windonws.

The IM and IRC clients are Internent Messenger and Intern Relay Chat clients - may or may not be your thing so at your discretion.

Pidgin and Paint.net again I have not used (will get back to you on These)

OpenOffice is an excellent alternative to Microsoft office and can read and write Word and Excel files. Powerpoint compatible presentations can also be viewed and created (though I have not tried this)

VLC player from Videolan is an excellent player, though creating playlists can be awkward.

Hijack This, the final program mentioned is a tool for dealing with spyware and should NOT be used by general user unless instructed to, by someone who knows what they are doing. a suitable alternative is Superantispyware, which does a superb job of dealing with spyware. You will need to update and scan regularly (minimum twice a week) if using the free version.

That's All People
