Free programs, tools and applications are widely available all over the internet nowadays and these cover just about anything you might ever need to do in any internet or office based environment but you have to choose wisely.

There are no direct download links, just links to the website where you can choose and download the version you require and all links were live and active at the time of posting (Feb 2016).
