Introduction

This article covers a set of necessary free software for a personal computer. 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 software is. Firewalls serve to protect your computer from network attacks. Firewalls filter everything that goes through the network and also they can analyze program activity. If any program does not behave well and wants to send unwanted information from your computer, your 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 an alternative Comodo Personal Firewall can be installed. It works pretty much the same as products from Agnitum and Kerio, which are a little more complicate to set up.

Burners

We suggest using Nero. It supports recording of CD/DVD/Blue-Ray discs. There is also an option to burn .iso images, make disk covers, archive and restore files and folders. As an alternative, CDBurnerXP can be suggested.

Download managers

To simplify the download process of multiple files there are download managers. We would suggest using Download Master. This utility can integrate itself in different browsers. There is also an option to start downloads by schedule, set the number of simultaneous downloads and download speed. It can also adjust the download speed according to activity of other programs, which use internet connection. Download Master also includes an FTP-client.
