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.

Firewall

Let us say a couple of words on what firewall programs are. Firewalls serve to protect your computer from network threats. 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, a 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 free version of a firewall from Outpost.

Outpost firewall analyzes program 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 installed. It works pretty much the same as products from Agnitum and Kerio, which are a somewhat more complicate to set up.

Image Viewers

For viewing and minor image editing we recommend using XNView. Among interesting options of this program, ability to edit multiple images, making panoramic images, screen capture, and Adobe Photoshop cs5 Russian version plug-in support can be found.

As an alternative, Farstone Image Viewer and FastPictureViewer can be recommended.

Drivers Management Programs

From time to time there is a need to reinstall the system, but time-consuming to install all the drivers one by one. To simplify this process, you can use the SamDrivers. This program allows you to save all the drivers in one file and then restore them from this file. To save all drivers in one file just click ‘Export Drivers’. To restore drivers click ‘Import Drivers’. This program allows you to install all necessary drivers for your computer at a click of one button.
