Computer stuff

[bigfrank]

Was wondering if anyone knows a way of uploading Microsoft word/office on to computer for free??? I can u can get 60 day trials that take about 55 days to set up and download lol:)

Or anything else that can help a computer user for free ie anti virus packages,spy ware etc

Computer dont seem to be goin that great this past while,was wondering if there was a way of cleanin it out or something

Any help greatly appreciated

Open Source is an alternative to Office. No major differences and it's free.

havent tried it, but I believe that 'Lotus symphony'
is a free word processing, spreadsheet etc suite of apps.

I hear it opens ms word and ms excel files in its equiv applications

you can also save your documents/spreadsheets in the symphony applications to word or excel format

otherwise the answer is you have to either buy the full cost ms ofice, a pirate version in jonesboro market or get someone to 'lend' you a copy

Google Docs.

Myself and my real boss use the spreadsheets for financial stuff.
