10 Essential FREE PC applications 2011

Below I've compiled a list of ten free applications I believe every PC owner should have installed on their system...


---


Security:
AVG 2011 Free Edition
The most widely used free antivirus software on the planet



Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware
Tackles spyware with ease and works well when used in conjunction with AVG for a free security suite

Browser:
Google Chrome
Fast, simple browser that can also be highly customised with apps and themes to suit your browsing needs


Office:
Open Office
In essence, it's a free version of Microsoft Office

Media:
VLC Media Player
Simple interface and compatible with just about any video extension you can throw at it!

Winamp
Great for organising your music in playlists and also for listening to radio online

Image Editing:
GIMP
It's no Photoshop, but for free software it's pretty amazing!

Inkscape
Useful vector graphics editor

Maintenance:
CCleaner
Does a great job of cleaning up useless junk on your PC and also fixes registry errors

7-Zip
Handy file compression/extraction software - handles the stuff Winzip can't manage!

All of the above software is freely available for download at www.download.com and I more than welcome any comments and suggestions if there are any free apps you think every PC should have.
