What software to install to windows

Introduction

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

Antivirus

As a free antiviral software we advise Avira AntiVir Personal. We have been using it for almost two years and have no problems with it. According to av-comparatives.org resource tests, AviraAntiVir Personal provides the same level of protection as eset nod32 antivirus 4 and Kaspersky AntiVirus.

Alternatives: as an alternative for Avira AntiVir Personal you can use Alwil Avast! and AVG AntiVirus.

We would like to point out that whatever your preferences are, some version of antivirus software needs to be installed on your computer, as working without one can be compared to walking on a mine field.

Codecs Pack

To be able to play various audio and video files you need to have the necessary codecs. To solve this problem K-Lite Codec Pack rus can be used. As an alternativeyou can use FFDshow or players with integrated codecs like KMPlayer.

Browser

There are several main browsers: Internet Explorer, opera ac, 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.
