There is a lot of free software on the net. Below you'll find a selection of essential software (mainly for personal use) created by other software vendors. These titles are

AVG AntivirusSQ Opinion: This is a powerful, but easy to use anti-virus program. The database is updated regularly and the process for keeping the software up to date is simple.
BigfixSQ Opinion: Bigfix is a small application that sits in the memory while you surf. It has a look at your system and sees if any part of it needs updating or if there are any important security patches. If you don't mind having it running the memory, it's a really useful app.
Ad-AwareSQ Opinion: Some downloads from the internet contain hidden programs (Spyware) that monitor your movements and surfing habits, while at the same time, using system resources. The info then collected gets passed/sold on to a third party. Ad-Aware can detect most forms of Spyware and remove it from your system. It's quick and easy with a good clear interface.
Zone AlarmSQ Opinion: Zone Alarm is a personal firewall that will block access to your computer from the internet or network. You can decide what applications you want to give access to. The free version is excellent, however, there are other versions available on the site with more powerful features.
