fully free software utilities for biz use - discussion

Hi Folks,

============================================

List moved to:

https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=18955.0
fully-free software for biz - the lists !


==============================================

 Goal - freeware and donationware (and maybe some super-inexpensive-ware) utilities for a biz environment.  That can be installed and may be helpful to the network admin and many can stay for the users themselves.

 The DonationCoder programs may apply, we can discuss which ones and how that works in the thread.  I'll leave that to the experts.

  Here are a few that immediately come to mind. I am especially interested in programs that :
 1) Might be picked up for use by the users, or
 2) Will help the network admin when he works on the puter

 ** = added to original post from thread info ... naahh .. too many, taken out.

================================

 Please do not get too concern where you post, although in a light sense now this one is meant more for the free-wheeling discussion, the new one is the reasonably orderly list and new suggestions.

Shalom,
Steven

See Any freeware alternatives to Faststone MaxView? for an attempt to find free for work image viewer (no real success I think)

Might be considered veering very off-topic so I'll put these fonts in a spoiler

(They are what he calls "serious" fonts  :) so it depends what you need!)

[edit] in my usual skim the post style I missed the 'utitities' in the title and first paragraph :-[ [/edit]

btw I forgot to say nice idea for a thread Steven :Thmbsup:

I also asked here before about a 'fully-free' Anti-Virus without success . .

Steven Avery:
Hi Folks,

On Wilders we were discussing firewalls and three were said to have free versions for biz use. (I have not checked.)

Filseclab
PC Tools
Comodo  

The first two were of some interest to me (not Comodo) however PC Tools I think was bought by Symantec so its situation could easily change in the months ahead.

The anti-virus question is a good one, it is true that there might not be a good, free biz one of substance.  Then we could look for any that are both effective and quite inexpensive.  Might as well allow some other bases.  Similar questions with malware removal and HIPS (including startup managers).

=========================

Oh, this thread is not just for biz use, it can apply to multi-puter home usage.  Clearly the same ones that are ok for biz use are likely okay for your combo of family and test usage.  Although you might have more options, since the "non-commercial" use freeware programs may allow unlimited.  (And your preferred shareware may allow multi-home-and-laptop-puters.)At least you know the programs on this thread should be a good starting point of safety.  
That is the main point here, good programs that can be installed .. anywhere .. without $ and copyright and license and ethics backwash.  Secondarily, economic and effective programs in a biz environment (granted you have a whole nother realm there of centralized administration products available, but that is off this range).

Shalom,
Steven

I assume only ClamAV can be used everywhere. Not as full featured as avast! or AntiVir, but better than nothing.
