Anyways, I like free stuff. But when it comes to computer programs, I am usually pretty conservative when using free software. I am always suspicious that there is something nasty hidden inside that great free application. However, there are a few programs which I really like, and they actually are free and safe. Most, if not all of these are free for personal use, not corporate use. Be sure to check the details of each program before you use it.
If there’s a free application that you just can’t live without, let me know. Maybe we can add it to this list.
Audacity
Audacity is a nice, fairly powerful yet easy to use audio editing program. It can be used to record, edit, and manipulate a wide range of audio files.

Firefox
Get it… use it… leave Internet Explorer alone
Gimp
A very nice alternative to Photoshop
AVG
Anti-Virus software from Grisoft. Includes regular free virus signature updates, which is very nice.
Ad-Aware
A nice and fairly effective Anti-Spyware software from Lavasoft.
