Introduction

This article covers a set of necessary freeware for a PC. All programs mentioned in here have a freeware status and can be used absolutely legally and downloaded from shara-soft.ru website.

Firewall

Let us say a couple of words on what firewall software is. Firewalls serve to protect your computer from network attacks. Firewalls filter everything that goes through the network and also they can analyze program activity. If any program does not behave well and wants to send unwanted information from your computer, your firewall will inform you of the attempt. However, to be honest, the extent of Windows Firewall operation will be enough for most users. If you needs advance protection, you can easily use a freeware version of a firewall from Outpost.

Outpost firewall analyzes software activity. After it is installed, it will learn what various software, installed on your computer, can do and what it can’t.

As another choice Comodo Personal Firewall can be installed. It works pretty much the same as products from Agnitum and Kerio, which are a little more complicate to set up.

CD/DVD emulators

As a disk emulator program we recommend trying free UltraISO rus. Using this program you have to be careful. If you check the checkbox for ‘Ignore media type’ in program settings, the OS will see all CDs inserted in the drive as non-recordable and will refuse to burn them. To resolve this issue the check box needs to be left unchecked.

Drivers Management Programs

From time to time there is a need to reinstall the system, but you do not want to install all the drivers one by one. To simplify this process, you can use the SamDrivers 12.30 rus. This program allows you to save all the drivers in one file and then restore them from this file. To save all drivers in one file just click ‘Export Drivers’. To restore drivers click ‘Import Drivers’. This program allows you to install all necessary drivers for your computer at a click of a button.
