In these cash-strapped times, freeware applications have a certain appeal, offering great features and functionality for no cost.
Here at PC Explorer we're big fans of free software, and many of the programs we regularly use on a day-to-day basis are freeware titles. We've put together a list of the top 25 freeware programs ever released — there's no filler, no sub-standard software, just top-quality applications that deserve a place on your system.
All of the programs we've covered are available on the coverdisc, so you can try them out for yourself.
There's plenty more to explore in this issue — if your VHS tapes are fading with age and taking up shelf space, why not convert them to DVD using our comprehensive step-by-step guide? You might also want to dip a toe into the world of MySpace and Facebook with the help of our beginner's guide to social networking.
We've also put together extensive sections on customising the look of Windows Vista (again there's software to help on the coverdisc) and looked at some of the best solutions for backing up your data to the Web.
If you're a budding movie maker, meanwhile, then take advantage of the unrestricted version of MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 14 Silver on the coverdisc, which is packed with features and can help you create eye-catching professional-looking digital films with your PC.
