Trouble Free Use: The Best Free Software Downloads For 2015

With the massive growth in the gadget sector these days, a wide range of software have come to the forefront, capable of performing different tasks and most importantly, available for free of cost. Software like the Team Viewer and Drop box has helped the users the most by providing the best services so far. So, here are more which you can check out, as compiled by the Techradar.

# Computing Everywhere

The idea of computing from anywhere has been well accepted by the users as loads of apps and services are available for different platforms and devices. With the wearable tech such as a smartwatch ready to take the connectivity a notch higher, limiting yourself to some specific services would be just a waste of time when you could use your entire PC on a Smartphone.

Installing Team Viewer on your computer helps you get on-the-go access to your entire desktop from anywhere. All you need to do is install TeamViewer on the other computer or add the free mobile app on your tablet or the phone.  The app can be downloaded on the iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone for free.

# 3D Printing

The year 2015 should see a rise in 3D printing as it starts to become more affordable. Thequestion remains, once you have bought the printer, can you make your own 3D models? The answer is ‘yes’— with the 3D modeling software and the animation tool, Blender. The tool helps you to create your own 3D model using its modeling, painting and sculpting options.

# Artifical Intelligence

This user-friendly personal assistant called the Artifical Intelligence makes it easy for the users to access data and information. Artifical Intelligence is evolving fast and 2015 will witness its growth when Microsoft releases its Aritifical Intelligence powered personal assistant ‘Cortana’ on Windows 10. But on the other hand, you don’t really need to hold back for Microsoft’s version when there's a free personal assistant already out there in the app store in the form of ‘Braina’.

Braina works in the same way as Cortana, providing you with information from the internet, playing the songs and videos of your choice, finding and opening files on your PC and offering you with several other features. As for now, this software is available for free for Windows PC.

# Rid Yourself Of Ransomware

This software helps you regain control of your computer after it's been infected with ransomware. Malware continues to grow at an alarming rate and last year saw the emergence of a particularly wicked brand. Ransomware locks and encrypts people's computers and demands for payments in return for the code that grants you the access to contents in your computer.

# Increase Cloud Encryption

If you want to put an extra layer of protection around any particularly sensitive data stored on cloud such as OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive, then you should certainly set up Cloudfogger. The software adds advance level of encryption to your data along beside the one already used by your cloud provider, making it difficult to break. The Cloudfogger can be instructed to store the all-important encryption key locally avoiding any mishandling of your data.

# Free-To-Play Gaming

Team Fortress is one of the top and popular free games available for the PC. The popularity of free-to-play games is set to rise throughout 2015 and continues to become a hit after it was free. The game is still updated frequently and is even set off to be made into animated short movies. It's the ultimate team-based game, where you can choose a character and then go on opposing in various game modes such as capture the flag or king of the hill.

# Windows 10

As of now, Windows 10 is on a test run with the free pre-release version. 2015 will see Windows in a complete new form, so why wait until October for it to get released? You can actually get its free version and familiarize yourself with it. Microsoft has made the pre-releases available to the general public for free and all you need to do is to sign up for the free Windows Insider program and go on with downloading and installing the latest pre-release version of Windows 10.

# Cloud computing

Cloud computing allows you to back up, share and access your data from anywhere on any device. And when it comes to choosing a cloud storage solution, Dropbox stands as the first choice for it being easy to use and comes with 2GB free storage. Sharing files and folders is simple through the Windows desktop client and it allows you to access your data on the move via numerous mobile apps available in the app store.
