Introduction
This article covers a set of necessary freeware for a personal computer. All software products mentioned in here 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, your 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 software 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 used. It works pretty much the same as products from Agnitum and Kerio, which are a bit more complicate to set up.
Image Viewers
For viewing and minor image editing we advise using XNView. Among interesting options of this software, ability to edit multiple images, making panoramic images, screen capture, and adobe photoshop cs5 plug-in support are worth mentioning.
As an alternative, Farstone Image Viewer and FastPictureViewer can be recommended.
Data restore
Sometimes there is a need to restore data deleted by mistake. When you delete files from your trash can, the data is not actually erased from your hard-drive, only record about this data is deleted. You can use Recuva to restore deleted data. Just select the hard-drive from which data was deleted and click ‘Analyze’. Restored data needs to be saved on another logical drive to eliminate rewriting. There is also a good restore wizard in this software. So heh recommend a very handy program for video processing VirtualDub 1.9.3.
