In the work environment, productivity is mostly the name of the game. People want their work done quickly and efficiently, not to mention as accurately as it possibly can be. Productivity tools have been around since the conception of work, and everyone is always trying to find something else that make them just a bit more quicker and efficient. In the information age, especially with the conception of the internet, this has become something that is paramount. Luckily, there has been a lot of software developed that a person can utilize around the web. In many cases, these are some things that are free!

AVG Anti-Virus Software. This is definitely one of the most important things as far as productivity goes. A person wants their computer to be as clean as it possibly can be before even starting some of the tasks that they need to perform. A computer with a virus is something that can cause a lot of slowdown, and in some cases, make a computer inoperable. This particular software is something that is quite powerful, and it’s even free to use.

Free Download Manager. Even though this product is also free, it is something that is quite powerful in itself. A lot of productivity is hampered when a file takes an unnecessary amount of time to download, and all the while, a person is just sitting there waiting for their file to transfer. This particular program is something worthwhile because it can speed up a computer’s download time, increasing it up to an amazing 600%.

7-Zip. There are many different types of software to use that can compress files, but this is undoubtedly one of the best. This open source program will allow a person to compress many different file formats.

Skype. This is a program that has taken the web by storm, and for many business purposes, it is something that has become commonplace. It’s instant messenger format is something that is quite, reliable, and easy to use. Many people prefer Skype over all of the other available ones.

OpenOffice. There are many open source alternatives to the Microsoft Office Suite, but this is hands-down the best one, even over Google docs. It essentially works exactly the same as the others, and even has something similar to Microsoft’s PowerPoint thrown in for good measure. If you’re looking for the best alternative to Microsoft’s offerings, look no further.

There are many other programs that are on the market, but the best things about these are that they are mostly free. These can really help in the way to increase productivity, as everyone can afford to work a little faster. There are a multitude of other programs that deserve an honorable mention, such as Foxit’s PDF reader, which is definitely an improvement over the sluggish Adobe’s offering. For a person who wants to work the best they can and as quick as they can, these are some things that they definitely do not want to miss out on.
