What programs do you need to have on your computer. What are computer programs: a list of names with a brief description

Welcome! Today we will talk about 7 Windows programs that should be present on every computer.

This article will not be a revelation for advanced guys and girls. But it can be a good reminder for those who are just taking their first steps in maintaining and setting up a personal computer on their own.

1. Archiver. Squeeze - unclench is still in vogue.

An archiver is a program (a set of programs in one graphical interface) that should be the first to take place on your computer.

With a high probability, immediately after installation Windows, You may come across a driver or a program that is packaged in an archive.

And here it will be a shame if this is . To unpack it, you need an archiver. To download the archiver, you need a network driver. Vicious circle.

Such a combination of circumstances seems unlikely. But many advanced users can confirm - it happened, and it can happen.

Therefore, the archiver must be on your flash drive at the moment when you are about to reinstall your OS.

There are a huge number of various archivers with GUI(previously, archivers worked from the command line).

All of them support an overwhelming number of formats - zip, rar, iso, jar, cab, tar, gz, ace, arj etc. Therefore, by installing just one program, you will receive a whole set of tools with archives.

The names of some of these programs are: 7-Zip, WinRAR, WinZIP, HaoZIP etc. almost to infinity.

We will not go into the functionality of each program. Our goal today is different.

Although WinRAR is a paid application, it will work great for many years in its trial version, only occasionally reminding of its "paid".

You have the right to use the archiver that you consider more convenient and advanced.

2. Browser. Internet surfing.

Browser - from English. browser — reviewer. Actually, by this name it is not difficult to guess the purpose of the programs of this group. With their help, we view (survey) pages on the Internet.

Once, back in 1995, the first version of the operating system appeared Windows 95. The disadvantage of that version was the complete absence of any browser out of the box. I had to install Netscape Navigator is a third party browser. I don't remember now, maybe there were others.

MicroSoft's own browser appeared later, a little over a year later, in OS Windows 95 OSR2 and called..

Quite right - Internet Explorer. Not the best and fastest browser.

20 years have passed since then, and the habits of the mega-corporation have remained the same. Only in version 10 Windows, IE they simply hid it in a folder, away from the user's eyes, without even displaying the shortcut in the menu " Start". And to replace it, they brought a new miracle with the same letter - Edge browser. But as users joke, the purpose of both of these programs is to download another browser with their help.

But let's not mock IE was and remains the favorite browser of elderly accountants and developers of programs for these same accountants.

There are a huge number of browsers on the market today. All of them are usually free. They are created on the basis of each other, use the same engines and, in essence, do not differ much.

For example, Google Chrome,Yandex.Browser and now also Opera- use the same technologies and engine - Chromium. You can easily verify this by looking at each page " About browser«.

The whole difference is in improvements, add-ons, extensions, appearance and default settings.

Rounding out the top four Mozilla Firefox - a browser with its own unique engine, history and fans. Firefox- present "out of the box" in several operating systems of the family linux. Taken as the basis for the creation of the program Tor Browser.

It has many extensions that make its possibilities almost unlimited. Although other browsers are no longer inferior to him in this.

Google Chrome is fast, but gluttonous in terms of random access memory browser. Has thousands of extensions for any purpose. Has a built-in Flash plugin, replacing Adobe Flash Player — Pepper Flash Plugin, which is updated with the browser. Synchronizes data in your Google account. Able to translate pages into Russian.
Opera - evokes warm feelings for many. Beautiful, pleasant, simple, but at the same time functional and fast. It has its own extension store. Doesn't have built-in Flash plugin, it must be installed separately. More resistant to uncontrolled installation of unwanted extensions and Malware.
Yandex.Browser is beautiful and modern. Easy to use. It has data synchronization (like all the mentioned browsers), for which your mail is used Yandex account. So simple and clear that everything you need fits in one small menu. I really don't want to go into settings. It has the function of translating pages into Russian from other languages.
Mozilla Firefox is a browser with history. Ognelis is loved by Linux users, programmers, testers, seo-specialists and many other technically literate people. It has a huge number of extensions, themes, addons, plugins, etc. Just a good browser with a bunch of fine-tuning.
Tor Browser is a browser based on two things: Mozilla Firefox and complete anonymity. Tor allows you to use proxy servers and virtual private networks to browse the web. Does not leave cookies, does not store a cache and does not write history. The best browser for online anonymity.

3. A set of codecs.

Something that no modern computer can do without is codecs.

Codecs are small converter programs that compress video and sound when recording videos, and also decode them when playing back.

If you do not install the appropriate codec for your family camcorder on your computer, you may not be able to view video from it on your computer. Similarly, if you don't have a DVD codec, you won't be able to watch your favorite DVD.

To watch a movie in mkv- need a codec Matroska, to view video from surveillance cameras you will need H.264, and so on.

If you had such a situation that the video did not open, or opened without sound or image, then most likely the appropriate codec simply was not installed on your computer.

How to understand what codecs are needed and where to get them?

Actually, as a simple user, we should not be worried about the question of what codecs we need. Let it bother the guys involved in video processing. We must understand that there are sets of codecs that include the most popular, or even almost all possible codecs.

These sets are called packs» ( pack- set, kit, package, pack). Codec sets differ both in terms of the manufacturer (who assembled the codecs and released the final product) and in terms of the content of the package.

I think many will agree this moment leading package K-Lite Code Pack.

There are several configurations of this product - Basic, Standard, Full, Mega.

From the names, the content of each of the packages is clear. If we want everything at once, download Mega.

IN comes with easy, fast and pleasant Media Player Classic which will reveal EVERYTHING.

All programs and games that use "exotic" codecs, which are not in the package, deliver them themselves during installation.

6. Cleanliness is the key to health. Even computers.

Despite all the charms of the operating system Windows the latest versions, it still has quite a few weak points. One of them - registry. The register needs to be monitored and maintained. But not every user is able to independently control errors in its structure, and even more so manually eliminate them.

The second rather unpleasant thing is the directories of temporary files, which are so fond of viruses and other computer evil spirits. You can clean your computer from viruses as much as you like and Malware, but if you forget to clean the directories of temporary files, you can wait for the "guests" again.

In operating systems of the family linux, directory /tmp is cleared automatically when the job is completed.

What hindered the developers Windows do the same? Unknown.

In addition to the above, it would not hurt to check the startup items. So that the extra is not loaded along with Windows.

It would be nice to get rid of programs that were installed without demand with other products.

All this and much more, one very good can, and most importantly free program. Experienced comrades most likely already guessed what was at stake.

The program that should be on every Windows computer is CCleaner.

IN Lately many little-known programs have appeared that pretend to be “cleaners” and antiviruses. Be carefull.

7. Security, it's not just about antivirus.

Well, we got to the most burning one. Until protection.

Many are ready to beat their chest and defend the honor of this or that antivirus. Oh, how many disputes, quarrels and squabbles were on this basis.

That is why, today we will not talk about antivirus, but about its alternative.

Meet - Malwarebytes Antimalware- the most powerful product that will protect you from unwanted browser extensions, advertisements of gambling establishments that interfere with work or watching a movie.

It is he who will make your computer "breathe" in a new way, and give the operating system a second chance.

Has 4 levels of real-time protection (paid version):

Anti-Malware
Defence from ransomware
Defence from exploits
Defence from malicious websites

A free version, is a powerful scanner that detects threats that no antivirus simply sees. She (free version), has a powerful heuristic analysis of files.

Suitable for use with conventional antivirus. Doesn't conflict.

By using Malwarebytes you can cure a heavily infected computer on your own without resorting to the help of specialists.

In the virtual world, as in the real world, it is often necessary to hide important data from third parties. In the real world, we do this with a safe, a personal locker with a key, and so on. In the virtual it looks about the same, hiding personal data (files, photos, documents, videos) with the help of passwords.

Each of us needs to maintain order both in the house, car and in our own head. How can we correctly formulate our new ideas without order in our heads. Clutter in any area drains us and adds a lot of stress.

One of the most deplorable problems that sooner or later may appear on computers is the failure of its most important component - hard drive. Typically only 50% of hard drives make it to 6 years of life. Its failure means that all your data is irretrievably lost.

It's been a while since we talked about speeding up and optimizing your computer. So, we want to advise you a very powerful and useful program to speed up your computer. This program is called Smart Defrag 4, it is included in paid package utilities of the Advanced SystemCare program. And she speeds up the computer by defragmenting disks and she copes with her task with a bang.

Do you work at the office or at home at the computer and would like to improve your academic performance and the efficiency of working with programs? This way you can spend the time you save on something else. Yes, it is possible, the main thing is to understand the logic of the program.

For a long time I chose which computer to buy, and finally here it is - standing on the table, on the screen the Windows splash screen, and what to do next? After the purchase, the first question that comes to mind is what programs are needed for the computer. Somewhere I saw something, somewhere I heard, in general, porridge in my head!

Paid or free?

It just so happens that some free programs are not enough, it turns out somewhere 50 to 50. In no case do I call for the use of cracked versions, but such is our reality that “cracked” programs are used everywhere. In my experience, there is at least one free program to solve almost any problem, which is more than enough. But paid ones are usually more convenient and with more functions. But they are needed for bulk work or for professional activities.

Computer programs for every day

No matter how hard Microsoft tries to ennoble its operating system, a clean OS can only be used in limited conditions - for example, at work, where the installation of additional programs is prohibited or there are no rights.

Antivirus - necessary protection

I have already touched on the topic of antivirus more than once. The thing is absolutely necessary on any computer. Perhaps the antivirus is the only program that is needed for a computer, which is better to buy and live in peace. Paid versions save you the headache of looking for updated keys and signature databases. The most common with us:, and. Which one to choose is a personal matter for everyone. 100% protection will not give any, so just choose which one you like best.

Alternative browser

For the convenience of using the Internet, you will need to install one of the alternative Internet browsers to replace the standard Internet Explorer. Popular in our area, and. All of them are free and very necessary programs for the computer. Today, the browser from Google is rapidly gaining popularity. This is undoubtedly one of the best browsers, but everyone has their own preferences.

By default, it cannot work with such a common archive format as “.rar”. Probably in the West everyone only uses zip. I install a wrapper that supports all the necessary archive formats, including ".zip". WinRAR is built into the operating system, allowing you to work with archives from the context menu in Explorer. As an alternative, I can recommend the program. It also has all the necessary functions, but it does not know how to pack in the “.rar” format. But it can unpack the “.7z” format.

Office software package

Mandatory thing for working with texts and tables. Although I included this in the mandatory list, it is still not for everyone. But I have yet to meet a computer without Microsoft Office or its free counterpart.

Acrobat Reader

Needed to read PDF books. PDF is the most common format for documentation, books, and manuals. It won't work without a special program. Acrobat Reader it is a completely free program.

Skype

A program for free communication around the world via the Internet. Supports voice, video and chat. An indispensable thing for communication, in addition to social networks. To do this, you will need a microphone (we read), headphones and a webcam (for video communication), as well as an installed program on both computers of the interlocutors. It also allows you to call landlines and mobile phones, but this is no longer free. I already wrote earlier.

Advanced Programs

I showed what programs are needed for a computer in a minimal variety. For the more advanced, I will recommend another pack of software.

After installing the drivers, first of all I install the file manager. This program provides convenient access to the file system, replacing the standard Windows Explorer. It is much more convenient to copy, move, change files. I advise everyone! With the launch of Total Commander, my work with the computer begins.

Mail client

To check their e-mail, a person usually goes to a site, for example mail.ru, and looks at the Inbox folder. But it is much more convenient to use special programs - mail clients, especially if you have more than one e-mail box. The program connects to the server and downloads all mail to the computer. You can view it without browser delays, quickly switching between boxes. I recommend

On a “clean” newly installed Windows, for normal operation, it is simply necessary to install many more programs, because without them, as you understand, there is nowhere. Let's try to compile a small list of the most necessary programs for a computer, without which, the full use of a computer is simply impossible. Please note that in the article, in the description of any program there is a link to its working version
So...

The most necessary and important program is your anti-virus protection.Usually it is divided into 4 categories: antivirus, firewall, comprehensive protection and computer scanning programs. I prefer complex protection consisting of antivirus + firewall. At the moment I use one of the free ones - Avast! I would recommend using only the most proven antivirus programs: Kaspersky, Norton, ESET(nod32), DrWeb, Avast, Panda, McAfee and other popular ones. In general, a matter of taste. If you don't want to pick up some Trojan, be sure to install it!

Next, install the archiver. Since most files on the Internet are in archives (.rar .zip .7z), we will definitely need an archiver program. I suggest using two at the same time: WinRar and 7Zip.
Their differences can be described in one line: winrar- a beautiful and advanced archiver, but with 7zip it's free. Well, as a bonus - only the archiver 7zip opens .7z format archives

Next on the list we will have disc burning software(although in recent years I have begun to doubt its necessity more and more ... I use disks once every 3 months). dominates here Nero, the most popular program for burning discs (few people are confused by the fact that it is paid). As a free alternative I can advise ImgBurn or shareware Ashampoo Burning Studio- the functionality is smaller, but for its main task - recording discs, it is more than enough.

Further... we need Office. And most likely - Microsoft office(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.). I think you should not paint - you yourself know perfectly well what it is. For lovers of free software, I can advise open office or even better libreoffice- they are almost as good as the brainchild of Microsoft, and they work with Microsoft formats no problem.

Now we will consider codecs. What is this thing for? And so that when watching your favorite movie, you, dear readers, do not have any problems. Without them, many video and audio formats simply won't play! Most Popular Codec Pack - K-Lite codec-pack . By the way, a very good video player is installed with it - Media Player Classic.

Video viewer essential for any PC user. Even if you have a brand new home theater, you often have to watch a variety of videos on your computer - from clips to video seminars. This task is excellent KMPlayer And Quick Time Player.

We listen to music- Using the standard Windows Media Player, it’s simply impossible to listen to music, no matter how hard the developers try ... 2 of the most popular players are suitable for this purpose: winamp And AIMP. The second player consumes less resources, and besides, it's free. But even here it is a matter of taste and habit. For example, I use two.

I will also advise universal players which both video and audio files are read without problems: GOM Media Player And VLC media player- they read all formats and by the way they are completely free!

Also, to use the Internet, you need to install Internet browser.
Do not use the standard Internet Explorer to catch viruses through it?

After buying a new computer or laptop, you will definitely need programs for solving various tasks: creating text documents, watching movies, chatting with friends, etc. However, as after. Indeed, in this case, the local drive C will be formatted, and all files will be deleted.

What programs are needed for a computer or laptop? There are a lot of them. This article contains the most important ones - those that are installed on almost every second PC or laptop. Therefore, if you want to know what programs are needed after installing Windows, I recommend that you read the list below.

For convenience, an example is given of which programs are needed for a Windows 7 computer. And in the order in which it is recommended to install them. Although all these programs are also needed for PCs and laptops running Windows 10, 8 or XP.

The first thing to do after setting up Windows and installing drivers is to protect your computer or laptop. That is, install an antivirus. Without it, it is not recommended to install other programs, because you can catch some kind of virus. And you may even have to reinstall Windows. Again.

There are more than enough antiviruses today. Free ones include:

Avast;
Avira;
Comodo Antivirus.

There is also NOD32, Dr.Web, Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

Which is better to choose? This is purely a personal matter. Everyone chooses what he likes best. Personally, I have Kaspersky Internet Security. There are no viruses, the computer works fine. In general, I'm not complaining.

Browser for comfortable gatherings on the Internet

On any version of Windows, Internet Explorer (IE) is already installed by default. But the question is: who uses it? It is not for nothing that they joke on the Internet that Internet Explorer is a browser for installing other browsers. Or maybe this is not a joke at all, because in most cases it is true: IE is launched only once in a lifetime to install another browser - Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari.

Which is better? Again, this is a matter of taste. So choose the one you like best. Unlike antiviruses, the difference between browsers is mostly purely visual. Therefore, it is not so important what exactly you choose, the main thing is that it is convenient to use it.

Microsoft office suite

There is also a free competitor to OpenOffice, but it is used much less often. Perhaps for the reason that many users have not even heard of its existence.

Which version is better to use? If a computer or laptop is too weak and designed to work, then Microsoft Office 2003 will be enough. And in order to open .docx and .xlsx files (they are created in the program of new versions from 2007 and higher), you just need to additionally install the compatibility package from Microsoft.

Archivers

Usually, for transferring folders with files over the network, they are packed into an archive, after which they are transferred to the recipient. First, it's more convenient. Secondly, archivers compress files, reducing their size. But to open such an archive, you need to install this program.

Today's popular archivers:

winrar;
winzip;

Each of them does an excellent job, so choose any.

Here are the programs you need for a computer and laptop without fail. This minimum set, which is enough to work and perform basic tasks.

For home use, this is clearly not enough. Therefore, let's continue our list and consider what programs are needed for a regular user's PC.

Audio and video codecs

On a home computer or laptop, we usually watch movies and listen to music. And in order for all video and audio formats to open without errors, you need to install a codec pack.

For example, the K-Lite Code Pack is popular today. There are several versions of this program, so it is best to install the full ("Full").

Audio and video players

The K-Lite Code Pack also has a built-in video player - Media Player. In principle, it will be enough to watch movies of any format (avi, mp4, mkv).

Alternatively, you can install KMPlayer. This is also a popular video player: simple, convenient and, perhaps, the loudest (for some users, this is extremely important).

For listening to music, there are 2 excellent programs - Winamp and Aimp. They are quite similar, so you can install any. If you listen to music online (VKontakte or somewhere else), then you can not install the audio player.

PDF Readers

Most often, PDF files are encountered during study (books, essays, manuals, etc.). Sometimes they slip at work - in the form of reports, documents, etc. To open PDF files, you can install Foxit Reader or Acrobat Reader. Both are free.

These 7 programs are enough for the average owner of a home computer or laptop.

And finally, let's look at what programs will be needed after reinstalling Windows for advanced users who actively use the Internet and play games.

Messengers for communication

You can communicate with friends not only through VKontakte. One of the most popular programs today is Skype (by the way, it can also be installed on a smartphone). She supports text chat as well as voice and video communications. That is, you can call your friends and see them through the webcam.

Another popular option is ICQ. She is ICQ. Also a great program for instant text messaging.

Instead of ICQ, you can still install QIP. It is simple and convenient and takes up less space than ICQ.

Disc burning software

Discs are recorded quite rarely today, but still. Nero is one of the most popular DVD burning software. If you do not use it often, you can install Nero Mini - it takes up less space.

Another option is CDBurnerXP. The program is free and also takes up little space.

Reading ISO Images

For those who like to play computer games, you will need a program that can open .iso or .mdf files. After all, sometimes games are recorded in these formats. In this case, Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% will do.

Direct X

Also, to be able to play games, you will need the latest version of Direct X. Where to find it? As a rule, along with any game, a set of additional software is always included, including Direct X. Therefore, when installing a toy, simply check the box "Install Direct X".

That's all. Now you know what programs are needed for a computer or laptop after Windows installation. Although it is not necessary to put them all. You just need to go through this list and choose only what you need.

The seventh generation operating system from Microsoft is the most popular operating system of all currently in existence, and, of course, the most successful of the Windows family. This is the last "AXIS", which was not a fully optimized tool for working with a computer, requiring modifications and configurations. Starting with Windows 8, the procedure for installing and configuring the operating system has become subject to most average users, and the system itself has received many useful tools for working with documents and files by default. In the case of Windows 7, users had to install the most necessary programs for the computer on their own.

Let's deal with the package of the most necessary software, which must certainly be present on any modern or not the most modern PC running the legendary Seven.

Uninstallers
Perhaps the first of the most desired programs, which are recommended to be installed immediately after installation/ reinstalling windows 7 are uninstallers. The seventh generation OS is representative of an old line of systems where they could be easily "spoiled" by installing an excessive amount of unnecessary programs, utilities, and games. Therefore, users are advised to use special uninstallers that allow you to remove existing programs without a trace, restoring the computer to the state it was before installing unnecessary software.
And among the programs of uninstallers, two obvious leaders can be distinguished:
CCleaner;
Uninstall Tool

Both solutions allow you to perform complex removal of programs from your computer, however, unlike its opponent, Uninstall Tool refers to paid software. However, it is not so difficult to find a key or a crack for home use of software on the Internet.
As for Ccleaner, this tool is also able to qualitatively and completely remove programs installed in the system. In addition, "softina" also has a set of functions for cleaning the computer.

Programs for media files.
Of course, when it comes to what programs are needed for a computer with Windows 7, we must not forget that at home, computers are often used for entertainment. And entertainment, first of all, is watching movies and TV series, listening to music. And in order for all this to be played correctly, the system must have not only the appropriate players, but also codec packs. This will probably be news to fans of newer members of the Windows family, but versions that were released before Windows 8 were by default able to play far from all media file formats.
Therefore, first of all, the most necessary programs for Windows 7 are tools such as K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. This software includes all the necessary codecs to play most media formats known today. In addition, the software includes a simple, concise and fast media player "Media player Classic", which is indispensable when watching video files.

Archivers
Next on the list of necessary programs after reinstalling Windows 7 are archivers. This, as they say, is our everything, because most of the files downloaded from the Internet are packed into archives. And, which will again become news for users of newer versions of Windows, Seven by default is not trained to open files in the “.rar” format, etc.
Therefore, it is recommended that immediately after installing the OS, think about installing the following software to choose from:
winrar;
7zip.

These two options will be enough for you, because these are unprecedented leaders in the field of unpacking any archives. As for the leadership among these two software "giants", WinRar certainly wins the battle for leadership, but this "software" has one drawback - it is paid. However, there is no need for users to even think about activators or cracks here, because the software does not require a mandatory purchase, and users can continue to use it for at least decades. The only inconvenience will be an annoying window notifying them that the program needs to be purchased.
If you do not want to see such pop-up information on the screen of your PC, then you should consider installing the 7zip archiver.

Web browsers
Of course, we must not forget that without which today it is really impossible to imagine any computer, laptop, tablet and even smartphone. We are talking about a web browser, about the program that allows us to access the Internet. And here the answer to the question of what browser programs are needed after installing Windows 7 has three options:
Mozilla Firefox;
Opera;
Google Chrome.

We strongly recommend that you do not pay attention to other analogues, such as the browser from Yandex, Amigo and other dubious software solutions. Often this software is assembled on the basis of Google Chrome, and will bring nothing but annoying ads and unnecessary plug-ins into your life.
The choice should be stopped at the recognized by users, world-famous, convenient and reliable browsers, which we have listed above. All of them have their own advantages. However, for the average user, it is almost impossible to distinguish any significant differences between such software. Therefore, the choice can be made in favor of the most attractive browser interface in terms of its parameters.

Work with documents
Even if the list of the most needed programs for Windows 7 is selected for home computer, text editors must be present in such. And among the most suitable options are the following:

Microsoft Office is an application that includes all the necessary tools for working with text documents, tables, presentations, databases, etc. It is offered for use only for a fee, but you can always find solutions for using the software in the form of license code generators and cracks;

Libre Office is a completely free analogue of Microsoft's office software package, which includes all the most necessary tools for editing text, working with spreadsheets and presentations.
These two options will be more than enough for both home and work use.

Antivirus
The last of the list of the most necessary programs for Windows 7, we want to mention antivirus software. If in Windows 10 the regular "Defender" is at a high level and, in principle, does not require replacement by any analogues, then the standard "Firewall" of Windows 7 from anti-virus software, alas, has only a name and requires a mandatory replacement.

Avast antivirus can be noted as the most suitable options for use. This is shareware software that offers a full range of tools to reliably protect your computer from malware, trojans and other "evil spirits" that are so often found on the Internet.
The free version includes all the functionality you need to safe use computer. The only thing that users need to use the Avast software for free is to provide their email address to complete the registration procedure.
This was a list of the most necessary programs for Windows 7, which are necessary for correct and comfortable work on a computer or laptop running the legendary OS. As for the further optimization of the system, here the software should be installed solely at the discretion and needs of users. This applies to graphic editors, instant messengers, cloud systems and services, remote support utilities, email clients and other software that can be found on the Web.
We recommend that you do not overdo it with experiments and do not install too many unnecessary programs on your PC, as this may affect the speed of the computer in the future.

In the section of professional skills or additional information many indicate knowledge of the computer. But not everyone can make a list of computer programs for a resume. Of course, it is best to indicate only the software with which you really know how to work. After all, a recruiter may ask you to show your skills right at the interview.

Writing rules

Personnel officers advise writing about computer skills even to those people who apply for a position not related to working with a PC. Describing the level of proficiency in this technique, you can specify a list of programs that you know how to use. You also need to write at what level you know the computer. You can specify it like this:

confident PC user;
average level;
initial level of computer proficiency.

But it is not worth it to paint in detail about the knowledge of certain programs. Each applicant can use the following sample writing of this column:

Advanced user. Ability to work with basic MS Office programs (Access, Excel, Power Point, Word, WordPad), graphic editors (Picture Manager, CorelDRAW), programs for sending and receiving electronic correspondence (Outlook Express). I can quickly search for the necessary information on the Internet, I can work with different browsers(Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Amigo, Internet Explorer). Good knowledge of the features of the Windows operating system.

The universal version of this section may look a little different:

Intermediate PC skills. Ability to work with MS Office programs (experience with Excel, Word), search and download the necessary information via the Internet (worked with Opera browsers, Firefox), I can send emails.

The specifics of professions

There are a number of specialties for which it is necessary to list knowledge of programs that help work. Of course, it is better to start the description with general information about the level of computer proficiency and the ability to work with basic programs. For example, in an accountant's resume, this column might look like this:

Confident computer user. Basic knowledge Microsoft programs Office such as MS Access, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, ability to work with email(including in Outlook Express, Mirramail, EmailOpenViewPro). Excellent Internet skills in various browsers (worked in Opera, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and others). Knowledge of specialized computer programs: 1C: Accounting 7.7 and 8, Parus, Client-Bank systems.

Too long a list of all sorts of software can backfire: the employer will decide that your knowledge is very superficial.

It would be nice if the applicant for the position of sales manager, in addition to the list of basic PC programs, also indicates knowledge of specialized ones. In his resume, the specified section of the “professional skills” column might look like this:

The level of a competent user. Skills of searching for specialized information on the Internet, experience with various browsers (including Explorer, Opera, Chrome and others). Knowledge of operating room basics Linux systems and Windows, basic office programs, text and graphic editors(Word, WordPad, PowerPoint, Access, Paint, Excel, Photoshop). Skills in working with specialized systems "BEST", 1C: Enterprise (specification "Trade and Warehouse"), experience in working with the CRM system that regulates customer relationships.

If the position requires a deeper knowledge of certain programs, then they must be indicated. So, for the position of a PHP programmer, in addition to the ability to work with a PC, you may need the following: knowledge of PHP, social networks API, WordPress API, CSS, HTML, JS, CSS.

In the latter case, you need to focus on your knowledge and on the requirements of the employer.

If mastering new programs does not cause any difficulties for you, it is worth noting this at the end of the section.

Let's deal with the package of the most necessary software, which must certainly be present on any modern or not the most modern PC running the legendary Seven.

Uninstallers
Perhaps the first of the most necessary programs that are recommended to be installed immediately after installing / reinstalling Windows 7 are uninstallers. The seventh generation OS is representative of the old line of systems, when they could be easily "spoiled" by installing an excessive amount of unnecessary programs, utilities and games. Therefore, users are advised to use special uninstallers that allow you to remove existing programs without a trace, restoring the computer to the state it was before installing unnecessary software.
And among the programs of uninstallers, two obvious leaders can be distinguished:
CCleaner;
Uninstall Tool

Both solutions allow you to perform complex removal of programs from your computer, however, unlike its opponent, Uninstall Tool refers to paid software. However, it is not so difficult to find a key or a crack for home use of software on the Internet.
As for Ccleaner, this tool is also able to qualitatively and completely remove programs installed in the system. In addition, "softina" also has a set of functions for cleaning the computer.

Work with documents
Even if the list of the most necessary programs for Windows 7 is selected for a home computer, text editors must be present in it. And among the most suitable options are the following:

Avast antivirus can be noted as the most suitable options for use. This is shareware software that offers a full range of tools to reliably protect your computer from malware, trojans and other "evil spirits" that are so often found on the Internet.
The free version includes all the functionality you need to use your computer safely. The only thing users need to free use Avast software is the indication of your email address for the registration procedure.
This was a list of the most necessary programs for Windows 7, which are necessary for correct and comfortable work on a computer or laptop running the legendary OS. As for the further optimization of the system, here the software should be installed solely at the discretion and needs of users. This applies to graphic editors, instant messengers, cloud systems and services, remote support utilities, email clients and other software that can be found on the Web.
We recommend that you do not overdo it with experiments and do not install too many unnecessary programs on your PC, as this may affect the speed of the computer in the future.

Computer knowledge is an example of additional information in the resume that increases the applicant's chances of getting the desired job. Depending on the position, this item can be either a couple of lines or quite detailed. The main thing is that the information is true.

PC proficiency for resume

This point is often problematic. It is really difficult to give an adequate description here. Let's turn to the experience of HR-specialists. What wording do they consider literate and informative?

Computer programs: list for resume

It is necessary to list them. So the employer will get an idea of whether it is necessary to teach a new employee how to use a particular software. Well, if he understands, for example, what CRM is. But what system was he dealing with? Obviously, 1C, Bitrix-24 and Trello have their own specifics.

Therefore, it is necessary to list all known PC programs for summary: the list can be shortened by grouping:

office;
professional;
additional.

With additional, the main thing is not to overdo it. It is worth mentioning those that you may encounter in this field of activity (for example, software for electronic signature useful in trade, and in accounting, and in management). But tell the interpreter that, in addition to electronic dictionaries and Translation memory, he owns CorelDraw and creates drawings well, it makes no sense.

It is worth mentioning to what extent what programs you own in your resume; example: "Legal taxpayer" (advanced user), 1C: Accounting (confident), 1C: Trade and Warehouse (medium).

Computer programs for resumes
