In life, nothing is free, right? Well I’ve compiled a list of software that really is free, no strings attached.

- AVG Anti Virus. This anti-virus software is free, not just free to try, but free for life. They offer upgraded services for a fee, but for just protecting your computer from viruses, the free one is all you need. With this program, who needs McAfee and Norton.

- Mint. By using the free Mint program you can reduce your debt. After creating an account, you add your personal financial information and then let the program organize your finances. It shows you how you spend money and finds you ways to save.

- Skype. With this free program you can make calls and video chat with other Skype users, even internationally.
