Each of us has repeatedly faced the need to download a program from the Internet, but not everyone thought about the fact that along with the downloaded program, various malicious programs can get into your computer, which can significantly complicate your life. That is why downloading any kind of programs from the network should be treated very carefully, not relying on "maybe".
Today we will tell you about the three most reliable and convenient ways to download programs from the worldwide network.
Official website of the developer
The most reliable way is to download the program directly from its developer's website. For example, Opera has https://www.opera.com/ru/computer. In this case, you can be sure that you will download the most current version of the program and nothing else. Usually, when searching for a particular program on the Internet, the developer's site appears immediately on the first page of the search. You just need to make sure that this is not a page that copies the style of the developer's site - such copying is quite common on the web.
Softportals
Today, there are many sites on the web that offer a whole catalog of various programs for computers. Usually, these directories are conveniently structured, and you can easily find and immediately download from it a browser, antivirus, and any other program. But here again the question arises of the reliability of this or that resource. It is no secret that some sites are trying to impose on you, in addition to the selected program, a couple of unnecessary utilities, and you will not even understand where these programs came from on your computer. It is good if these are ordinary harmless programs, but sometimes it can also be programs containing malicious code. Therefore, be careful when choosing a softportal from which you want to download something. We recommend using only the most popular and already well-established resources, such as BesplatnyeProgrammy.Ru, a cult and authoritative resource for free software with a classic old-school interface and current versions of programs, or SoftoBase.com, which, in addition to a huge database of programs for Windows, Android and iOS contains a lot of useful information: thematic collections of software, answers to questions, video tutorials, etc.
Multi-installer of programs
Another reliable and convenient way is to download programs using the multi-installer programs. InstallPack is a great example. This is a small utility that facilitates the process of finding and installing the necessary programs for Windows on a PC (over 700 titles). To find the program you need, you can use the built-in search or thematic collections. The installation files in InstallPack are distributed on a zero-intervention basis. That is, in the form in which the developers give them, and only the newest versions. The application downloads and starts the installation of the selected programs one by one and does not create its own files on the system.
How do you most often download programs to your computer?
Hello! Here I will post the most useful programs for a Windows 7, 8, 10 computer that I use myself, and which you can download to your computer for free without any SMS, displaying ads, entering captcha, etc. by direct link!
Often, to find the program you need, especially if you are a beginner, it takes a lot of time to search for this program on the Internet. Now in the network there are a lot of so-called "file cleaning", from which I do not recommend you to download various programs. Not only that, before downloading any program from these sites, you will view a lot of advertisements and lose your time, but you will also download, along with the program you need, “left” and unnecessary programs, or even some kind of Trojan or virus.
You need to download the programs only from the official sites of these programs!
But not always, even on the official website of the program, you can quickly find a link to download the program. After all, software developers, especially free ones, must also somehow make money and also show their ads or impose other paid software.
Therefore, I decided to place the most necessary and interesting programs in my opinion on this page so that you can download for free without the aforementioned problems, in one click!
Basically, all the programs presented are free or shareware.
If you are interested in any program, and you want me to talk about it in more detail on the pages of this blog, then write about it in the comments, maybe I will review this program.
I will try to update all the programs in this section once every 3 months. So stay tuned for updates to these programs,.

Finally, I decided to write this article, long-awaited by many readers. As you understood from its name, we will talk below about the best free software for computer, without which I personally cannot imagine my digital life, which have been installed on all my computers for many years and which have never let me down.
There will be few pictures and a lot of different links, but I hope that all of them will be useful to you, so, as they say - do not switch ...
I want to say right away that absolutely all programs described on the website(there are hundreds of them) I like and all of them I checked (ran) personally - this is the main principle of the site.
Health when working at the computer
I give the first place free f.lux computer program, which helps me to preserve eyesight for many years when working at the monitor on long evenings and nights. I can't even imagine what would have happened to my eyes without her help. It removes the welding effect of the night shield by automatically adjusting the color temperature of the monitor (not to be confused with brightness).
This irreplaceable program works wonderfully in all versions of the operating system, up to Windows 10.
There are also excellent alternatives - also free SunsetScreen programs and (the second is generally a "bomb").
A few more and no less useful computer programs for maintaining health while working at a computer can be found in the corresponding section of the site. "Health and Comp"- I kindly ask you to pay attention to them.
Computer security
Virus protection is now completely free for my computer antivirus 360 Total Security, which is equipped with five (!) security algorithms. In addition, it has an excellent digital waste cleaner and a system optimizer - an original solution by manufacturers, I should note.
I draw your attention to the fact that with proper fine-tuning, any antivirus can become the best for you. For example, I have been using the paid ESET Nod32 and the free Avast! Free Antivirus - both of them saved me many times from the invasion of malware.
I cannot remain silent about the free anti-virus scanner Dr.Web CureIt, which I used to bring hundreds of computers of my friends and acquaintances back to life.
I advise you not to forget and about a good firewall(firewall) - it also plays a huge role in keeping your operating system secure.
Descriptions of other free and effective means of protecting your computer from viruses can be found in the "Security" section of the site.
Programs to speed up your computer
There will be several winners in this nomination ...
Let's start by making your computer start up faster. Here my leader will be AnVir Task Manager - a powerful manager of tasks, processes, startup, services and services, a detector and destroyer of viruses and spyware. It was thanks to this magic program (and a couple more tricks) that I was able to speed up computer start up to 9.2 seconds- this is my personal best at the moment (with Windows 7).
The site has a section in which I stumbled upon many useful articles on this topic.
What acceleration of the computer can be without periodically cleaning it of digital garbage (logs, "tails" of once deleted programs, etc.). Here my reliable and trusted assistant is legendary "cleaner" CCleaner... This is the most "long-playing" program on my computers - I have been using it from the very beginning of my computer life.
Besides her there is a whole bunch of great "cleaners" but CCleaner is my favorite.
After cleaning the system, let's optimize its work - I think the leader in this business is the Advanced SystemCare program. This is a whole harvester that has collected a bunch of useful tweaks and utilities under its roof.
A very convenient and intuitive program. It can fully optimize the performance of your computer. There is also a manual mode - you yourself indicate what and where to improve in the system.
Described on the site and other great optimizers such as ToolWiz Care.
I continue to list the best free computer programs that I have been using for many years ...
Programs for comfortable work at the computer
There are also a couple of leaders in the nomination ...
The most amazing free computer program that has made my computer experience incredibly faster and better is StrokesPlus. It makes it possible to control the computer with mouse gestures.
I’ll tell you just a magical free program - it monstrously optimizes interaction with Windows Explorer. I can't imagine my computer life without it.
There is also an alternative to this program - gMote, but I like the first one much more.
The second best free software that greatly improves the usability of your computer, I think Clover. It adds a tab function to Windows Explorer (think of browsers). As in the previous case, this greatly increases the speed of navigating through folders.
This program works fine in Windows 7, but the top ten has a number of questions for it - I was helped out by a similar (but not so simple) utility called QTTabBar. With its help, I implemented the tabs at the bottom of the window and enjoy the convenience.
My favorite browser
I clearly feel how many readers have tensed and are already kneading their fingers to start holivar on this topic in the comments to the article. Therefore, I emphasize - PERSONALLY BY MY FAVORITE BROWSER is Mozilla Firefox.
For a couple of years I "sat" on Google Chrome, I really liked the version of Opera called Vivaldi ..., but the Fire Fox personally suits me best for its flexibility, functionality and the presence of add-ons for all occasions. In terms of speed, all browsers are like rockets today.
Whichever Internet browser you use - do not forget about best ad cutter... It will save your nerve cells, speed up surfing the net and protect you from clicking on fake links.
Automatic driver installation program
It is no secret that the fast and high-quality operation of all computer components depends on the availability of up-to-date drivers in the system.
The most convenient, simple, safe and high-quality free computer program that will automatically scan your system with lightning speed, find the best driver versions suitable for your long-suffering computer and update them is Snappy Driver Installer (SDI).
This kit provides a list of the most essential programs that are perfect for installation on a new laptop or device with a new Windows operating system.
Good antivirus protection
1 The first thing to install is, of course, good protection. Without a good antivirus, visiting any pages on the Internet, using third-party applications or devices, can lead to infection of your computer with dangerous viruses and Trojans. To do this, we suggest you use the new, free antivirus solution 360 Total Security, which you can download from a special page on our website.
Multifunctional browser
2 Further, to visit sites on the Internet, you must have an installed, modern browser. There are many applications, but each of them is unique in its own way. If you want to spend time as efficiently and safely as possible while visiting Internet resources and using various services on the network, then we recommend that you download and install the free Yandex browser. This program has all the necessary tools to work effectively and safely on the Internet.
Good file archiver
3 After that, you can install the shareware archiver. Most of the files on the Internet are distributed in zipped form, and in order to extract the content from them, you need a special program. We recommend that you download the very good WinRAR application and install it as your main tool for working with archives. You can find out more about it and download it by clicking on the button below.
Multimedia
4 For playing music and watching videos, we recommend that you pay attention to the KMPlayer player and the AIMP player. By downloading and installing the proposed programs for working with multimedia files, you can easily listen to music and watch any video, without the need to additionally install codecs.
Optimization
5 During the use and installation of additional programs on a laptop, various unnecessary information and records accumulate in the system, which load your computer and significantly slow down its work. For such cases, we recommend downloading a special utility CCleaner, a program for cleaning and optimizing system performance. With this application, you can easily delete all unnecessary records and junk files that accumulate with the active use of your laptop.
Here are the 5 main programs that should be installed on your laptop. If this list does not satisfy your needs, then you can always choose our site and select from the list all those applications that you want to download to your computer.
