Anti-Virus

Microsoft Security Essentials (FREE)
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx?mkt=en-ca

A free anti-virus that  has been getting good reviews. I used to recommend AVG but they are falling behind. Remember the best approach to guarding against viruses is just watch what you click on, in email and the internet.

 

 

Word Processing, SpreadSheets, SlideShows, Database

Open Office (FREE)
http://www.openoffice.org/

No more Microsoft Office! Now you don't have to use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Access, Excel, etc. This application suite is FREE and can open all of those expensive Microsoft suite application files (.doc, .xlsx, .xls, etc).

 

 

Internet Browsing

Fire Fox Browser (FREE)
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

This a faster and more secure browser used for surfing the web. Use it in place of, or atleast as well as,  Internet Explorer.

You can use this to create anything to a pdf file (the files that Adobe Reader can read). Once installed, in the program that you are using, go to print the thing you want to create the pdf from and choose the the PDF Creator in the printer listings.
