Help

The best form of free help is on the web - either through searching on Google or
Yahoo or through registering with user group forums. There are loads! But here are a
few examples of application specific user groups:

Dynamics Nav user group
Office user group (independent of Microsoft)
Office user group (Microsoft)

Security applications

This refers to anti virus and anti spyware free applications. Sometimes these are joined
together under one application that completes both tasks.

Don't forget each PC or laptop MUST have 1 and only 1 security application installed.

Recommended free security applications include:
Free AVG (anti virus and anti spyware)
Spybot (anti spyware)

Office applications

Open source office applications are free to use and can provide all that a user requires.
The most well known is OpenOffice.

Backup applications

It is very important to back up data files regularly and there are a number of free back up
applications available from the web.

FPC would recommend SyncBack from 2BrightSparks. Download available here. This
application allows the user to complete backups (full or modified) under profile names.
It allows back ups to external drives, networks drives etc through IP addresses or using
the Windows Network Centre.

PCs and laptops

There is no such thing as a free lunch! Some businesses are offering free laptops for sign up for
broadband services but the user should look at the overall cost and the specification
of the laptop being provided.

Having said this, if all the user requires is a web browser, these 'free' laptops may fulfil a need!!
