List of Must have Softwares That Will Rock Your Computer
Here is a list of must have softwares on any PC / laptop whether you are using Windows pc, Mac or any Linux distro. Your computer is very limited if you don’t have any of these.
Must have Softwares on Computer
Office Suite
(Any one of them) –
- Microsoft office
- Libre Office [Free]
- Open Office [Free]
Libre Office and Open office are as powerful and feature filled as Microsoft Office
Security System – Antivirus and Spyware Protection
( Any one of the following free options )
- Avira personal + Comodo Firewall
- Avast Home + Online Armour
- AVG Antivirus + MalawareBytes

Above mentioned list is of free antivirus software combination to provide free of cost safety against both Virus and Web Attacks. If you are ready to pay money then go for internet security suites like Kaspersky or Bitfender.
PDF Reader

Download Manager
( Any one of them )
- Download Accelerator Plus DAP
- FlashGet
- Orbit Downloader
Torrent Software
( Any one of them )
- uTorrent

Browser
- Firefox
- Chrome
You must download and install both Firefox and Chrome because I have found that both these softwares fail sometimes on specific sites to fill application forms or banking. So if one fails to surf a particular site you can try the other one
IM Client – Instant Messenger
Today when social media sites is a hot and rising trend everyone wants to stay connected with friends. So you must be having an IM which can connect you to almost every social media site, so that you don’t have to use different IM for different social media sites.
( Any one of them )
- Trillian

Video Chat

That’s the only one thing you need. Don’t over burden your browser with useless facebook video chat or google video chat plugins.
That’s all you should have on your PC or laptop to do almost everything regarding work and never get bored. If you have other suggestions then do comment. Happy computing

Hi Divyansh,
I just wonder who doesn’t have any of those. If they are still using internet explorer as a browser, then it’s likely they still have the same grassy hill wallpaper on their windows XP, or the default windows logo on their windows 7.

Here , i want to say , list is awesome, but you forget to mention Microsoft essentials, it’s ranked as top antivirus in world, the best thing about it, is that it’s ‘FREE’ .
I would also recommend to add some GAMES.
thats true. Microsoft essentials one of the best utility to catch almost every antivirus.. but the defender and faded alert window popping up after making little changes itches me, and there are very less options to control its working, and interface looks 10 years old.
Ya for games i would like to hear your recommendations too. My free favourite game is from steam – battlefield war inc and stronghold empires. For paid its CZ and Civilization 5
Yes, I agree, about it’s interface looking old, but it’s not made to entertain user’s like it’s done in games, it makes, it’s job done clear without having much load on CPU and even on user, as it doesn’t need a daily update though (once in a week would do
)
About games, it depends, particularly what each user like, i prefer online games more than installing and playing .
I didn’t say about defender, it sucks . Never ever to use Windows Defender as a primary software to scan your device and it is not reliable as Essentials.
