Some of the best free programs to have on your new computer.

When you get a new computer, the first thing you want to do is delete the venderware that comes with it. The second thing you want to do is load it to the brim with the best software to date. To keep your computer working and your hard drive clear of junk, consider these awesome programs.

Spybot Search and Destroy/Avg Free

These 2 programs are the backbone of my computer security. Each one compliments the other in the sense that one will take care of the malicious software that the other doesn’t. First you have Spybot, an easy to use anti-spyware program that has a very useful feature, immunization. Used on both Internet Explorer and Firefox, Immunization stops spyware from entering your computer. Second you have Avg Free, which is a powerful Anti-Virus program that block viruses from entering though downloads or Peer-to-peer traffic. You set AVG free to do full hard drive searches for viruses during times that you are away, asleep or otherwise not at the computer. My only complaint about these 2 programs is that they are memory hogs when they run full searches.

Winamp

Yep, good old winamp. I choose Winamp over many other media players because it can play back a wide selection of media file types, both video and audio. Unfortunately, many people cut it short because they don’t realize that Winamp has plug-ins that allow you to run many types you would not expect, such as Real Media (.rm) and Flash Movie (.flv) files.

Firefox

Please for the love of Ra, don’t use Explorer. Firefox is a heavily customizable browser that give the power and flexibility needed when doing things like watching streaming media, playing online games or just surfing the web. You can also do some of the strangest things like check the country of the website your on, or color code your tabs. but this is apart of Firefox’s unique user base.

Open Office

A good program but I’d only install it if you don’t already have Microsoft office already aboard. Open office is a free alternative to the much necessary in the day and age program.

Crimson Editor

A personal choice and it’s a bit dated but it’s a good replacement for notepad. tabbed for organizing multiple text documents a spell checker for multiple programing languages. It’s a great program for those who create web pages from scratch.

FrostWire/BitTorrent

If your into the whole Peer to Peer thing, the FrostWire and BitTorrent combo is for you. FrostWire is a hacked up free version of LimeWire Pro, FrostWire comes with no bundled viruses or spyware. Fairly easy to install, you can use LimeWire to share your favorite (non-copyright) software, games, and more! BitTorrent is the same but for .Torrent files. A word of advice though: You should always seed the files. If you fear the fact that a certain organization (like for instance the RIAA) will come after you, then you already know it’s illegal and should never have downloaded the files to begin with. Not seeding is quite inconsiderate and can leave others who wish to have to file, hanging at 5%.

Peer Guardian 2

Good for keeping your Peer to Peer activity and web browsing private from them peering eyes. Blocks the IP addresses of known troublemakers from gaining access to your computer.

IceChat

A Great IRC Chat program for those who know IRC. It’s simple to use and has extra features for those who really know what they’re doing.

My personal reviews of some of the top free anti viruses that are much better than most of those paid for versions. Never run two real time anti viruses at the same time. They will cause conflicts.

Avast Anti Virus Home Edition 4.8 (Free)

Pros: Recently just out of beta stage, Avast 4.8 now offers a built in anti spyware and anti rootkit now giving it better detection then it’s previous version 4.7. It seems to me that 4.8 uses less resources, though the Avast development team says there should be no change in memory usage. Avast also has an automatic update feature. Also i might at that Avast has a faster scanner then previous versions. Avast has also added a new self defense feature which stops Avast from being shut down by malware.

Cons: Avast currently has no heuristics scanner besides it’s email protection. I have heard a couple complaints from people saying they thought Avast was slowing down their Internet speeds, i have tested several times to see if i could encounter this same issue and i did not see any difference in my download speed with Avast.

A few strategies I use to make my computer go faster.

Successfully speed up your computer and get rid of junk. Here’s how:

  1. Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System tools and then Disk Cleanup. It calculates how much space you can make on your computer. You can then delete unneeded files.
  2. Empty recycle bin and delete internet files. Open Microsoft iExplorer, and go to tools, internet options and then go to delete cookies and delete files. On Firefox, go to tools, clear private data, and press OK.
  3. Run a Disk Defragmentation, and then go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System tools and then Disk Defragmenter. Have at least 15% of your hard drive clear.
  4. Get a program such as Mcafee or Nod antivirus systems to scan for virus.
  5. Get rid of unused programs/applications. Always use “uninstall” because deleting files doesn’t always get rid of everything. You could also use add/remove programs.

Ever wanted to know how to make a game? Visit this guide and it will set you on your target.

First you need to ask yourself a few questions:

  1. Do I know any programming languages?
  2. What is the game going to be about?
  3. Is your ability of programming good enough to make it?

Answers

  1. If you do know a programming language how well do you know it? There is a variety of programming languages out there but there are a few main ones. These are: C, C++, Java, Python, Flash, and Ruby. I personally program in Java as I find it very easy to program games in.
  2. Your game could be about anything it could even be a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) if you know what you are doing.
  3. How well do you know the programming language? If you are aiming to make a MMORPG and only know how to program a simple line of code, then you are not being realistic and it will be a long time before you are going to make one.

Changing Theme:

First off, you will need to download a theme folder and dll. The one I use is this.View that page and click download. When it’s finished, it will be in a “.rar” file. Now extract those files into “C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes.”

Leave that RAR aside now, we won’t be using it anymore. You can delete it if you want.Now, we need to download a patcher for the dll that runs your themes. Since you can’t use your new theme yet, you need to download this patcher.Go to this link and click on the download button. Then download one of the 2 links in the next window. It shouldn’t take long (only 1 MB). When you’ve finished, it will be in a “.rar” file. Open it and click on the EXE.
