List of Essential Softwares Which a Pc/Laptop Must Have

by Martha on March 2, 2011

Software is what makes a PC/laptop worth using it. Today the software market is one of the biggest growing market.  Maple of Software’s are available for different purposes & with different packages, we must know what software we need and how it works. I will tell you about the useful softwares that your PC must have:-

  • Media Player:- Media players are used for listening songs, watching movies. There are different kinds and variety of players are available .  The most famous among them is VLC Player because it support’s  almost all formats than any other, but there are other players also which can be used like window media player,Winamp, KM Player,  real time player, zoom player, Quick player which is by default installed on hp laptop’s.
  • Anti-viruses:- This is the program which is must installed on your computer to protect and secure your data and files from any threat. Virus can be come in your PC from anywhere whether it is exchanging data, through internet, Email’s etc . You can choose any antivirus to protect your PC like AVG, Avast, NOD32. Antivirus will alert you each time a virus entered in your PC.
  • Browser:- As internet explorer is by default browser in window but today most famous and usable is Firefox due it’s speed and other useful purposes. Google Chrome is also available but it is not much used by people.  There are also portable browser available to be used , always use an updated browser.
  • Office Work:- For official purposes or for making any files, presentations, stats we have one of the best software by a renowed company that is Microsoft office, latest they have launched MS Office 2010 with additional features. This software is almost helpful for all computer users.
  • Picasa Software:- Picasa is a photo management software, that is used for viewing photos,editing, shading, effects, there are many effects available in this software to make your photo even better. This is one of the coolest software by google. You can see slideshows of your images.
  • Downloader:- Downloader is used to download files from the internet. Internet download manager(IDM), Downloader Accelerator Plus(DAP) Many other software’s are available to download files from internet are available but I found IDM best among them because of it’s speed and simplicity.
  • CD/DVD burner:- CD/DVD are used for backup purposes. We use CD/DVD to save our data permanently.  Nero, imgBurn are available to burn CD/DVD and it is also very simple process to do that you just add your files you want to backup and burn those files by just clicking on burn CD button.
  • CCleaner :- it is a very simple program to delete unnecessary files to make your window run better. it’s purpose is to clean temporary and junk files like history, URL’s, cookies, error reporting, recycle bin. There are also one more software like Evidence Eliminator is used for this purpose.

What all softwares you had installed in your laptop/pc? Do you love Open source Softwares?

I think Auslogics Boostspeed is better than CCleaner. Auslogics Boostspeed is for System Scanning, Defragmenting, Removing duplicates, Exploring Disks, Cleanup, Repairing, Erasing History, File Recovery, Shred Files, Give Advice and much more. I’m using Auslogics Boostspeed 5 special edition but in the Auslogics Boostspeed 5 pro edition, it has more devices that can really help and more advices for better protection. If you like it just search it in Google.

Thank Martha for listing the essential software in a system for a home user. The Picasa and CCleaner themselves fall under some category but it looks that you are a fan of these softwares.
