Essential Programs

I’m always looking out for good free programs that can do what retail versions can do and maybe better. All programs listed have been personally used by me and have been recommended by other recognised sites from around the net. They’re classed as ‘essential’ because they’re needed for doing certain jobs that you can’t do with that old OEM version that came bundled with something and the best thing is, they’re free (note: some may have upgradable options, but the main program is free).

I kinda got the idea to do this a few years ago and added a ‘Free Progs Info’ page to my ‘main site‘, so I thought I would do an updated version with some programs that were featured in Web User magazine and I’ll also mention some old favourites in the pages below.
