Necessary software for an out of the box PC to windows
Introduction
This article covers a set of necessary free software for a PC. All software products 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 install Alwil Avast! and AVG AntiVirus.
It is worth mentioning 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.
Burners
We advise using Nero. It supports recording of CD/DVD/Blue-Ray discs. There is also an option to burn .iso images, make disk covers, archive and restore files and folders. As another choice , CDBurnerXP 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 program. So heh recommend a very handy program for video processing VirtualDub last.
