Programs to install from the Web

  • Firefox/Thunderbird/FileZilla en français. If you don't use Internet Explorer, a firewall won't be needed
  • Antivir is better than Norton antivirus and free for personal use
  • Ad Aware a free anti spyware program
  • Winamp
  • GMail you have to be invited on an existing e-mail address to use gmail... find a friend who already uses gmail and use yahoo mail if you don'y have any e-mail.
  • Google Toolbar for Firefox
  • Google EarthFree to see, must pay to connect to your GPS
  • Codecs to see movies on your computer
  • CDex CD to MP3/... converter
  • Daemon tools. Like alcohol, reads ISO
  • Skype. Free Internet phone, and much more... or Yahoo messenger. Skype is the best for voice, waiting for Google Voice upgrades (it's very poor now)
  • Winzip or Total Commander are Sharewares, if you don't register Winzip is better. In the other case, you should definitely use Total commander
  • DC++. Direct Connect is a very good alternative to Samba/Windows file sharing in LANs and MANs with indexing (everybody uses it in the Bucharest WAN named INTERLAN)
