Tried & Tested Free Software Links! Updated 13th July 2011

Many of the so call free programs available on the internet are at best poor and at worst bogus installing Spyware and viruses on your computer. All of the Free programs below have been used and tested successfully, and come from reputable websites. We think that these programs will be useful, efficient and enjoyable depending on what you are looking for. We will continue to expand this list for you so please keep checking back for more new links.

If you would like us to look out for a specific type of program for you, or if you feel that would like to share information about a good free program that you personally have downloaded, please email us and we'll check it out.

Remember: Never install more them one Antivirus and Firewall program on your computer or they could clash, and one good Spyware program should be enough to keep you system protected. Remove any old or out of date internet security programs before you install any of the new ones below and please remember that they need to be kept up to date to work effectively. If you use online banking or credit card payments, I would recommend that you only use full version paid for internet security and not the free versions.

Please Note: Even though we recommend these programs, you still download and install them at your own risk. Please see our Terms and Conditions and Disclaimer for details.
