Introduction
This article covers a set of necessary free software for a personal computer. All programs 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, a firewall will inform you of this. 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 freeware version of a firewall from Outpost.
Outpost firewall analyzes software activity. After it is installed, it will learn what various software, installed on your computer, can do and what it can’t.
As another choice Comodo Personal Firewall can be installed. It works pretty much the same as products from Agnitum and Kerio, which are a bit more complicate to set up.
Codecs Pack
To be able to play various audio and video files you need to have the necessary codecs. To solve this problem K-Lite Codec Pack 5 can be used. As another choice you can use FFDshow or players with integrated codecs like GOM Player.
