Comodo Fire Wall has saved my butt several times, and protected my pc from malware and unwanted registry changes. You’ll spend a week teaching Comodo what is allowed and what isn’t. A little patience is needed as it learns, but afterward it will run quietly in the background alerting you when necessary. When alerted,  you will have several options of what action to take.  This firewall is very easy to configure, and is perfect for people with little experience setting up such a program.

Comodo Features:

Defends your PC from Internet attacks
Control what files run on your PC
Prevents malware from being installed
Auto Sandbox Technology™
Cloud based Behaviour Analysis
Cloud based Behaviour Whitelisting
Award winning & highly rated Firewall

I’ve been using Comodo for several years and am quite comfortable stating, this program is a must have.

I have to pick Filezilla as one of the best FTP programs out there.  The interface is quite simple and you’ll  find yourself dragging and dropping, shuffling and renaming files in no time. If you’re  managing multiple sites, you’ll  love it’s Quick Connect function, and with several options for a secure connection, you’ll be uploading and downloading files without a worry. As a long time user I can say this program is stable, easy to use and will do almost everything you would find in a paid for application.  I would say Filezilla is free must have program.

Are you the average computer user? Would like to connect to your desktop anywhere, but phrases like ” port forwarding” and “dynamic IP address” set your head spinning? Then TeamViewer is for you my friend. The free version will do everything you need quite easily.

The install was very simple. After that, I registered at the site and can now access my desktop anywhere in the world by http. You can fix problems, check mails and work on your machine. To transfer files, you just  go to the TeamViewer site and click join session.  This will give a code, password and download a small temporary file to the computer you are using. Now you are hooked up directly to the other computer, allowing a full session including the transfer of files.  I’ve done this to help my daughter resolve issues and it worked great. She just sat back and watched her monitor  as I worked away on her computer from 3 hours away. For the average Joe, I recommend this highly!

TeamViewer is meant for business, and is quite expensive to buy. One great thing is the portable version that comes with a purchase and runs off a USB stick. That would save any small downloads and what not. Just plug it in where you are and enjoy a full session without any worries! But we’re talking free here, so check out the free TeamViewer, it’s recommended at GCH.
