program
Free
office software
602 PC Suite,
combined word processor, spreadsheet, photo editor and digital photo
organiser and compatible with MS Office Word/Excel files.
EasyOffice
from e-press another fully functional piece of office software that
is also compatible with Word and Excel files. This will also create
PDF files from your documents.
Free
games
Popcap offer free
trials of their games to play online or download. I can especially
recommend Rocket
Mania ... but don't blame me when you start missing meals, baths,
going to work or having friends because of it!
Big
Fish Games has a whole host of different games that can
be downloaded for free. They are all categorised so you should be
able to find something you like.
Free
graphics software
IrfanView, one of the
best image viewers available, but it does a whole lot more than
let you look at pictures! Among other things it will let you crop
and resize, save your images as a slide show or screen saver, screen
grab and print your pictures too.
Cheez,
a free image cataloguing program. Cheez will also let you add comments
to your images and create web-ready photo albums of your pictures.
ImageForge
provides you with a set of powerful tools for painting and editing
images, photos or other graphics.
Free
multimedia software
ABC
Video Roll a free video editing package, that will let you
fade and mix videos, as well as adding text, music and graphics
and the odd special effect or two.
Audacity
is a free audio editing tool for digital audio ~ basically any audio
you play on your PC! These include WAV, AIFF, and MP3.
Free
security software
AVG Anti-virus,
provide a free anti-virus package on their website. You just need
to register with them to get a serial number for the package.
Zone
Labs have a free firewall utility available from their website.
A firewall is an essential piece of software if you have a permanent
broadband connection to the internet.
Finally
on programs
Don't forget the operating system on your PC usually comes with
a host of free utilities to make your life easier.
Windows
XP comes with a built in video editing tool, word processor and
games too.
Not
just programs!
Along
with all these sites that offer free programs, there are some sites
that offer real products for free!
A quick
surf about shows that currently you can get:
Free CDs, play-shapes, washing powder, cosmetics and more.
Most
of these items are provided by companies trying to promote their
products and they can be quite difficult to find if you're just
surfing the internet...
However
a few people have taken it upon themselves to list nearly all the
free product offers they can find.
A few
of these sites are:
Free
UK Stuff
- who have been listing free stuff since 1998.
Student free stuff
- as the name says it's targeted towards students, but most of the
stuff is available to anyone.
Free stuff junction
- similar to the previous sites and filled with free offers and
links
