Recuva is a free file recovery program that makes it extremely easy to locate files that were once thought to be lost forever. The wizard-like approach and intuitive user interface will appeal to all user levels. The program opens with a very sleek, professional user interface. We found it extremely easy to navigate right off the bat, but it does employ a wizard to walk you through the file recovery process. All we had to do was select either the C or D drive, or both, from a drop-down menu. If you have a general idea of where the file may be, you can pick from a list of file paths, including Pictures, Music, Documents, Video, and Compressed files.

Mozilla's Firefox is an excellent browser, a good replacement for Internet Explorer with a well thought out user interface and impressive speed.

WinRAR is a lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-use archiving utility that can unpack most archive formats, as well as compress to both RAR and ZIP. WinRAR is definitely top dog in the compression category. WinRAR's interface is about as simple as it gets. Start creating an archive by dragging and dropping your files into the interface or by browsing through the Folder Tree side panel. From there, the most common functions are laid out in the form of colorful, mostly intuitive icons, which can all be customized by downloading themes from the company's Web site. Add files to, Extract, Test, Delete, or even Repair archives right from the main interface. Drop-down menus house the program's more advanced features, including self-extracting archives, archive locking, benchmarking, and autodeletion of temp files.

Adobe Acrobat Reader


Bridging the gap between print and Internet publishing, Adobe's portable document format (PDF) lets publishers distribute their articles, newsletters, and documentation online without worrying about formatting problems or unauthorized alterations. By giving away the Acrobat Reader early on, Adobe helped create a nearly unassailable market position. If you want to read magazine archives or software manuals online, you need Acrobat Reader--as its nearly seven-year occupation of the Most Popular list can attest. You can also alternatively try using "Foxit PDF Reader".

AVG Free Edition

AVG Icon

It is vital to have good virus protection on your PC, and perhaps the one area where spending a small amount of money is completely justified - consider the inconvenience and cost of your PC being wrecked. The first stop should be to install which provides virus and spyware protection. However, there are other free virus scanners, and perhaps the best of these is AVG, a full and well respected anti-virus suite which is available in a cut down free version as well as a commercial edition. The free version omits some protection - in particular it does not provide download protection nor protection from crackers, keyloggers, spam, phishing attacks and ICQ and MSN protection. It also has a slower update service and more simplistic scheduling options for virus scans. However it does provide award winning protection against viruses, spyware, adware and identity-theft.
