On Thanksgiving, Life Hacker posted a list of programs that we can be thankful that someone or group of programs put together for us. To my way of thinking 20 some odd programs were a bit to much to look review. I cut the list down and added a couple of my own.
Each of the 13 programs (below with their links) is a program I use at least once a week, if not on a daily basis. They range from web browsers to antivirus software. There is even a suite of portable applications to put on your flash drive.
Look through then, there maybe some you can use. 
  1. Firefox - The best web browser, but slow with all the usable plugins.
  2. Open Office - A free MS Office alternative.
  3. CCleaner - A neat little tool for clean dead and used files on your computer.
  4. Avast Antivirus - Great light antivirus program
  5. PhotoFiltre - My all time favorite graphic editing program. 
  6. Chrome - New this year. Chrome has made its’ mark when it comes to web browsers.
  7. Skype - We scrapped our landline phone for Skype.
  8. TrueCrypt - Drive and file encryption program.
  9. FileZilla - When it comes to uploading files, and remote viewing of server files I use FileZilla.
  10. Notepad++ - Great light code editing program with neat features.
  11. PortableApps.com - The best suite of programs that can be access from my flash drive.
  12. Spybot Search & Destroy - In today’s world, an antivirus program is not enough. Spybot Search and Destory has been around for years doing a great job.
  13. KeePass - My favorite password manager.
