Softwares needed in our PC ( Freewares )
For window user, we cannot escape from reformat our pc regularly… haha… Why ? Because after certain time of using, a lot of problem will arise, such as system slow, error code pop up, and etc… Although we can take time to solve all the problem, but the fastest and easier way is to reformat the hardisk, and install a fresh new OS.
After format and install OS and hardwares drivers, we come to the part of installing softwares or programs in our system. Even though i’m a home user, but i tend to use freewares rather than cracked sharewares. Why ? Because cracked sharewares are not safe, many contains virus, trojan, adwares and etc.
Here i will share with u guys some freewares that i often use in my system. Some of them might be only free for home user only, kindly take note. I will only stick to the compulsory one only… hehe. Below i listed down those freewares that i will install to my machine every time i reinstall my window.
