  5. Avira 2015: Most of the times when user browses through the internet or plugs in some USB or they are downloading some programs from the internet there are chances of the PC getting malware /virus and hence it is always better to install this Avira 2015. Avira blocks and eradicates the nasty malware, spying adwares, it warns user if it sniffs some sites which may be dangerous to the PC. There are other free anti malware like AVG Anti Virus Free and Avast Antivirus Free which users can try.
  6. Malwarebytes Anti Malware Free: This is again an anti malware software. Now, why would anyone require this? The answer would be to give an extra layer of protection to the Avira 2015.

Paint.net: This is an image editor useful for those who are interested in graphic design and graphic arts.  This software is not as good as Photoshop however it has the minimum features to satisfy some common requirements and is available at much lower cost. For graphic professionals who cannot afford Photoshop can go for another software GIMP which is much efficient in comparison to Paint.net.
  8. VLC Media Player: In case of Windows 8 and 8.1 versions it can read DVDs however unlike the earlier versions of Windows this version cannot play DVD. In such a case VLC Media Player can read any video or audio format and it helps for those systems which do not support the DVD players.

  1. Ridiclous… You post 2 different PDF readers & both PC Decrapifier & CCleaner?
    They do the exact same things.

    How about taking it just abit serious instead of just making a article for the sake of making one?

  2. Nice list. Just one comment. There does not exist word “updation” as in your sentence “because Adobe reader undergo constant updation”. It should be just ” because Adobe reader undergoes constant updates”. Thanks!
