Free Laptop Software

The ultra competitive nature of the laptop software market has been a godsend for us penniless computer users for years now as software makers continue producing freeware or unlimited personal use software and utilities in the hope that users will eventually buy their product.

Now we all are aware of the multitude of software available from P2P clients, it couldn’t be much easier to get whatever you want for free, the legalities of this are more than questionable and files downloaded in this way can often carry unwanted results in the way of viruses or a 500Mb download that ends up being a dud or a fake, sometimes even being the opposite of what you were expecting.

We're going to cover what free utilities and software are available on the net which are rated as the best available for free. We'll run through some of the most downloaded, and more importantly useful ones around.


Spyware Utilities



Ad-Aware by Lavasoft:

One of the most downloaded laptop software freebies on the net. A great utility, virtually idiot proof, easy update process and it does what it’s meant to do without ads or asking for money, brilliant. Last time I checked this program had been downloaded over 200 million times since its release.

Free Laptop Security Software / Anti-Virus



AVG Anti-Virus Free edition:

Here is another example of a great piece of software being given away for free from Grisoft and it’s not locked down, but is listed by Grisoft as having some limitations (see below), free updates and again it’s as idiot proof as it gets. Averaging over 150,000 downloads a week and about to tip over the 8 million downloads in total, this is a must for the tight pocket user.

AVG Free Edition has the following limitations:
- AVG Free Edition cannot be installed on server operating systems (such as Windows Server 2003), nor can it be used for the scanning of network drives.
- Scheduling options in the AVG Free Edition are very limited (only one scheduled update per day, one scheduled scan per day etc.).
- AVG Free Edition receives updates via a lower priority service. Priority updating via high-speed servers is only available for purchased products.
- AVG Free Edition does not offer advanced testing options, password-protected archives reporting, adjustment of scan process priority and many others.
- AVG Free Edition has no technical support!

System Cleaners



CCleaner:

Here is a good one for keeping your system running well. Free laptop software that enables you to click once or twice to have your entire system scanned for junk and unwanted or unused files and cleans them away.
This utility will also remove stubborn software and clean out your registry. Over 20 million downloads and counting, well done to CCleaner.com.

There's plenty of free laptop software on the net, we think these are the pick of the bunch. Without any outlay at all, you can have a well maintained protected machine.

Software Free Point of Sale Solutions

For many companies, point of sale solutions are just not worth the time, effort, or money. Why would any reasonable store owner with visions of expansion want to buy retail software that will only work for one store? It makes far more sense to have a point of sale system that is subscription-based and is free to use on as many other locations as needed, eliminating the need to install new software for every location. That is a far more practical way to run a growing business.

The companies that can offer these solutions are generally software free, web-based point of sale systems. Instead of installing the system, you simply log in through the internet, saving time and money! The fact that you can use the system on an unlimited amount of stations or locations makes these POS systems virtually pay for themselves.

ktravula – a travelogue! On Language, Writing, Travel and Other things Morning in Ife I’m on a quasi-field trip around some rural cities in Nigeria along with two linguists from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. I have been out of internet access for a few days now and might be for a little while more. I will do all I can to keep updating this blog as often as I can, but I can’t promise that it will be every day. I do have my own internet connection but this trip is proving to be a new adventure in discovering just how much “national coverage” the so-called internet service providers have. I’ve been in Ife for a few days now, and I will be in Akungba tomorrow. I’m heading northwards and northwards until I reach whoknowswhere , or I get tired and decide to head back. Thanks to all who asked after me, and those who never left the blog even for one day. This is heart-warming. Greetings from Ife, the accla...

Relevance of Rural Traditional Religion To Contemporary Development

OUTLINE Introduction Concept of rural traditional religion Theoretical Framework The relevance of rural traditional religion contemporary Nigeria development Conclusion References ABSTRACT Contemporary global trends and the influence of western civilization have undermined the role which indigenous traditional religion plays towards national development. Overtime, people have had a preconceived or negative notion of what traditional religion is all about. This may be attributed to our socialization process and fake historical records of earlier missionary who view Africa as a land of no history, the generation of Essau who has been cursed. In order to dispute this assertion, this article examines the role of traditional religion toward national development. It argues that, the fact that some people use image as a means of communication to God does not mean they have nothing to contribute to the knowledge of God. Therefore, every religion must be appreciated in its own sense. In esse...
