Author Topic: The Free Software Megathread  (Read 899 times)

Well, I got kinda tired of people getting viruses without warning, and whatever, so I decided to make a free software megathread.
Antivirus
http://www.immunet.com/
Immunet works good, actually finds more stuff than norton. It's all free, no upgrades, or whatever. I used it before. (auto virus scan!)
http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage
Haven't tried AVG but I hear it's good.
http://www.avast.com/index
I currently use avast on my linux computer. It works good.
Games
http://worldofgoo.com/dl2.php?lk=demo
World of Goo is awesome, has good physics, and is a good puzzler.
roblox
Roblox has a really good community, with the best games ever. Try it out!
Web Browsers
www.google.com/chrome/
Chrome is the best browser I've ever seen, I use it. It even has some jokes! It's modern, and works amazingly. Try this.
www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Firefox is amazing. I'm using it to type this thread, actually. Although it lacks some things chrome has, it is still an awesome browser.
windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/download-ie
I'll just post this because it's free. Not saying it's good. It's actually kinda terrible in my opinion.
Screen Recorders (S.O.S for people who record their desktops with their cameras.)
http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html (free demo, but you can redownload when the demo expires)
An amazing screen capture, I always used this, no other recorder can match how good it is.
www.bandicam.com/ (free demo)
Wouldn't rate this the best, but it's still a good recorder.
www.fraps.com/
An amazing screen recorder. Tobuscus uses it! (free demo)
Others
http://timestopper.net/
This changes the time trial software sees, so you have the trial forever! (only works on some software, others can recognize it)
Painting
paint.net/
An amazing photo editor, I used to use it, had a really good experience with it.
www.gimp.org/
Amazing, I use it currently, but it's more advanced than paint.net, and harder to paint.
File Editing
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Spot the lizard? His software is a wizard. Amazing text file editing, and good for scripting. Organizes different parts of scripts.
www.win-rar.com/download.html
An amazing compression tool for files. I used to use it.


I'm not gonna post any more, that's the point of a megathread. Other users add on to it. Besides, I've run out of software to post. Enjoy the software!

Why is Malwarebytes not up there?

What happened here?

WinRAR should be added. Even though it gives you a 40 day free trial

Forever
