Setting up or re-building a PC can take lots of steps. The basic steps are pretty routine – I.e. format the drive, install the OS, apply all the updates, and install your business software. All of those steps give you a basically functioning machine.
If you are like me, you want to add a number of software programs and utilities to safeguard your PC and to make it work better. I can easily think of a dozen programs I would like on a new PC. Each program has to located, downloaded and installed and that can take a lot of time.
About a month ago, I read a posting from Kim Komando (www.komando.com) about a web site called FreeNew (www.freenew.net). The site lists 17 different areas of free PC programs and utilities (over 110 programs in all). You put a check mark next to each of the programs that you want to install. When you are done selecting your programs, you start the process and all of the programs are downloaded and installed in sequence. It’s a great time-saver!!
