Recommended Software

Before installing any software at your workplace always consult your IT department.

Antivirus & Internet Security

www.trendmicro.com

This is a fantastic software at a great price. I have never been infected with a virus since using it. It is also very light so it doesn't slow your computer down hardly at all compared to other programs. This is good option for home use, never try to install an antivirus software at work without consulting your IT department.

Some anti-virus software's don't search for Malware or you are forced to upgrade to the premium version to obtain that service. Malwarebytes is a great free-ware tool to search for Malware on your computer. It is very thorough.


Browsing

 
www.google.com/chrome
Use Google Chrome for everyday use. It is the lightest & fastest browser out there right now. You will run into some websites that don't work well with Chrome but the majority of sites work great.


Startup Manager

www.soluto.com
If your using Windows 7 startup time is probably not an issue but if you have Windows Vista or XP this is a great tool to reduce startup time.
