Must-have freeware programs for every PC
Regular readers of this blog will know what a big fan I am of some of the great freeware programs out there. Why pay a fortune for commercial programs when you can get quality free software, right?
And when it comes to finding good freeware, it’s hard to go past the Gizmo’s Freeware site for recommendations.
Gizmo’s Freeware has released a 42-page PDF document, entitled ‘Nine Great Freeware Programs That Should be on Every PC’.
It was initially available to its readers with Facebook accounts, with plans to release the document to its non-Facebook users a week later, but due to complaints from the latter group, it’s now available to everyone.
To access the PDF, Facebook users can go to Gizmo’s Facebook page (make sure you’re signed into your account) and click on the Like button. You’ll then be directed to the download page for the report.
Gizmo’s non-Facebook-user fans can access the report here.
The real bonus with this document is that as well as identifying none great freeware programs, it also steps you through their installation and usage — a real plus for the average PC user, as freeware isn’t always the most intuitive.
