WHY CHOOSE PIRATED STUFFS WHEN THE FREE ONE'S ARE BETTER!!

A lot has already been written on the net about the topic I am going to deal. I do not want to get into the issue whether paid apps are better or the freewares. But I just wanted to write an article and let people know that there are a lot of free alternatives of the apps that you purchase. These free alternatives do almost the same work or sometimes even more than the paid ones. So instead of buying or using the Pirated versions of the paid apps why not try these free alternatives first and then move to the paid ones? I bet once you get used to these apps you will certainly forget all those apps for which you empty your pocket. Let me clarify one thing here, these freeware are only for Windows operating system. Sorry Macs and Linux… Let’s start:-

 
Antivirus
A lot of people are very much worried about their pc security. So to be secure they find it better to rely on a company which creates a hole in their pocket for providing its product. I am not saying that those apps are bad but Please give these apps a try first:-
 
AVG/AVAST/MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS
These are some of the finest antivirus programs which are provided for free. Microsoft provides its own antivirus program when you purchase a copy of Windows. AVG and Avast can be downloaded from the net for free. These antivirus programs are light on system resources and they do not slow down your computer performance as done by some reputed antivirus.
Media Players:-
 
Playing media files on computer is something almost everyone does. People buy paid programs such as Power DVD to play their media files. But there are some very cool and useful apps which can provide the same quality experience for you without spending a penny. Here are some of them:-
 
VLC/THE KM PLAYER/GOM PLAYER/MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC
 
These media players can play almost any media file and are very light on system resources. Vlc is one of the finest media players I have ever used. It can play almost any file you throw at it. It comes bundled with a very large collection of codecs which provides a seamless experience. It even handles HD Videos without any lag. Media Player Classic is also one such app. It has a very wide range of Codecs and it supports almost every media file. There are many more such apps viz. KM Player, Gom player etc. Better give them a try!!
 
Productivity Tools:-
 
Productivity tools include Word processing software, Power point software. Most widely use Productivity suite is Microsoft Office. This suite is quite costly and not everyone could afford it.
Here are a few very good yet free competitors of Microsoft Office:-
 
OPEN OFFICE/LIBRE OFFICE
 
Both these suites are very close competitors of Microsoft Office. They have almost all the features of Microsoft Office and are very easy to use. They are light weight on system resources and are worth giving a try.

 
Photo Editing Tools:-
 
A lot of people use photo editing tools for simple editing of their personal photos. Before switching to paid Adobe Photoshop app which is certainly an excellent app, please give a try to these apps.
 
PICASA/GIMP
 
Picasa is a small utility form Google which allows simple editing of your photographs. But GIMP is a very powerful photo editor which can also be used in professional photo editing. It has lot of similar features which are found in Photoshop and it is absolutely free. It has a very sleek and easy to use Interface which I like the most about it.
 
File Compression
 
Winrar is a very famous app for file compression. It is a paid app. There are a lot of alternatives of Winrar which do the same work for free. Here is one of them:-
 
7-ZIP
 
7-zip is an excellent file compression software which recognizes almost all the formats. It is a very light weight utility and is very quick.
 
DVD Burning
 
Nero is a very famous app which is used for burning of Cds and DVDs. You can also try these free apps which do almost the same work.
 
ASHAMPOO BURNING STUDIO
 
It is a great program and it’s easy to use Interface makes burning of DVDs easier. It also supports burning of dual layer DVDs.

So these are some apps which can help you in doing your work easily and without paying a penny.
The main motto of writing this article is to stop people from using pirated stuffs. Why use Pirated stuffs if the free ones are better?? Give them a try and you will start feeling the difference.
