Over the years, I've used a lot of different programs that do a lot of different things. Here is a list of my all-time favorite four programs that I could not live without.
1. Firefox
By far the best internet browser ever. It's simple settings make it easy for a novice surfer to have a fair amount of protection - yet the open platform gives infinite possibilities for advanced users to install 3rd party extensions.
2. AVG Free
2. AVG Free
I was once a firm believer in the "pink shirt" system for my AV protection. After a near-fatal infection at home from a work computer, a friend of mine turned me onto AVG from Grisoft - I've never looked back. It's fast, lightweight, has daily updates and best of all... it's free.
3. Spybot Search & Destroy
As I recovered from that near-fatal infection, I also learned of all the other "little nasties" that can lurk in ones computer like cookies and ad based programs. S&D is another golden freebie that no geek should be without.
4. LogMeIn Free
The. Best. Tool. Ever. Period. This simple tray app gives you total control of your computer from any internet browser, anywhere - even your iPhone!
