Introduction

This article covers a set of necessary freeware for a PC. All software products mentioned in this article have a freeware status and can be used absolutely legally and downloaded from shara-soft.ru website.

Firewall

Let us say a couple of words on what firewall software is. Firewalls serve to protect your computer from network attacks. Firewalls filter everything that goes through the network and also they can analyze software activity. If any program does not behave well and wants to send unwanted information from your computer, a firewall will inform you of the attempt. However, to be honest, the extent of Windows Firewall operation will be enough for most users. If you needs advance protection, you can easily use a freeware version of a firewall from Outpost.

Outpost firewall analyzes program activity. After it is installed, it will learn what various software, installed on your computer, can do and what it can’t.

As another choice Comodo Personal Firewall can be installed. It works pretty much the same as products from Agnitum and Kerio, which are a bit more complicate to set up.

CD/DVD emulators

As a disk emulator program we recommend trying free UltraISO pro. Using this program you have to be careful. If you check the checkbox for ‘Ignore media type’ in program settings, the OS will see all CDs inserted in the drive as non-recordable and will refuse to burn them. To resolve this issue the check box needs to be left unchecked.

Browser

There are several main browsers: Internet Explorer, opera ac unofficial, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Each one has its plusses and minuses. We recommend you trying each one of them, and then chose the one you like most of all. We made our decision towards Opera. The main idea of Opera is that it includes almost everything you might need. It is quite fast and moderate towards RAM usage.

The main plus of Firefox is its extendibility with plug-ins. Chrome is characterized by high page load speed and minimalistic design. The main benefit of Internet Explorer is compatibility.
