The Best Free Software For Windows And Mac
It may be hard to believe, but some of the best software is free. Try out these fabulous freebies:
1) AVG Antivirus (Windows)
AVG offers some of the best security suites on the market, and they make the antivirus component free for personal use. If you’re looking for greater protection, try the paid AVG Internet Suite which also includes anti-spyware and a firewall.
2) Malwarebytes (Windows)
I use Malwarebytes to rid computers of the worst spyware infections. It doesn’t offer continual protection (you’ll need a security suite for that) but it can help get rid of anything that may sneak through.
3) CutePDF Writer (Windows)
Need to create a PDF file? Try this quick, free program. (Mac users, use the built-in Print to PDF option under the File menu.)
4) Mozilla Thunderbird (Windows and Mac)
A free email program that rivals Outlook and spotlights Outlook Mac equivalent Entourage’s shortcomings.
5) OpenOffice (Windows) and NeoOffice (Mac)
Why pay for Microsoft Office when you can get the same functionality for free? OpenOffice and NeoOffice can open and save Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents with ease.

6) Irfanview
It’s 90% of what most people do with Photoshop for 0% of the cost.
Good suggestion, thanks!
