Freeware is software that is available for free on the internet, with no strings attached (except for maybe an ad to upgrade to the paid version of their program, which you probably won't need). Most of these listed are open-source software, software that has been created and maintained not by a single person/company but a community of programmers who donate their time to create most of these programs. Try them out by clicking the links below.
Firefox - If you're still using Internet Explorer... tssk tssk tssk. This is much faster, safer, powerful, & customizable.
OpenOffice - Microsoft Office subsitute. In order to completely replace Office, follow these directions, to save default formats to Office formats.
AVG - Decent/Free Antivirus replacement.
Spyware Doctor SE - Used to scan for spyware, one of the better freeones. Spybot is another one.
7zip - Use this to unzip *.zip, *.rar, & other files.
PDFCreator - Create your own PDF files by using the print function in any program. It creates a printer "emulator" that will print to a pdf instead of paper.
PDF X-Change Viewer - Uninstall that slow Adobe Reader and replace it with this sleek, fast, and & editable reader.
VideoLan - Play Divx, Xvid, & etc... w/ downloading codecs.
Winamp - Replace stupid iTunes w/ Winamp, less a chance you'll delete your songs on your ipod. And a lot more customizable. Not as user-friendly as iTunes though.
