4. OpenOffice
Microsoft Office is the obvious choice when it comes to business productivity, but its price tag can put some people off.

PowerPoint too has a free equivalent – Impress is ideal for creating multimedia presentations.

9. Free YouTube to MP3 Converter
With all this talk of work and security, you’d be forgiven for thinking that we have no playful software to recommend. The Free YouTube to MP3 Converter does exactly what it says on the tin – takes any YouTube video and extracts the audio track from it, saving it as an MP3 file on your PC’s hard disk.This makes it ideal for grabbing music tracks from videos or stripping out the
content from an interview, webinar or TED talk, so you can listen to it later on an MP3 player or smartphone. Handy.

10. VLC Media Player
Last, and by no means least, we come to a program that shames Windows Media Player’s lack of multimedia mastery. VLC Media Player might not look as pretty, but it can play any video or audio format that you care to throw at it – DivX, H.264, Cinepak, Real Video, MP3, WMA, FLAC, ALAC and many more besides. No need to download extra codecs. With an array of settings to optimize
