Work smarter, play harder and stay safe

| Software 2018 |
Back to school can be an expensive time – whether you're in college yourself, or getting your kids ready for the new term.
Even if you've had to pay for a new laptop and textbooks, there's no need to spend even more money on software – everything you need for the new school year is available to download free if you know where to look.
Students can often get discounts on premium apps, but all these programs are totally free to download and use, and easily rival their paid-for counterparts.
LibreOffice
Free office software that's compatible with all Microsoft Office formats
 |
| LibreOffice |
It can save your work in whichever file type your tutors prefer (including Microsoft's own formats), and makes light work of page numbering, indexes, and footnotes.
If you really need Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, check out Office Online. It doesn't contain all the features of Microsoft's desktop software, but it's a great compromise and includes collaboration tools for group projects.
BitDefender Antivirus Free Edition
A student-friendly security suite that offers complete protection
Every student needs a solid security suite to protect their privacy and keep their work safe from dangers like ransomware that could damage or encrypt crucial essays and reports.
BitDefender Antivirus Free Edition is the best free antivirus around – fast and well designed, with excellent detection rates. Its behavioral analysis makes it particularly good at picking up zero-day threats – those that haven't yet been identified and cataloged by its security experts but have been spotted based on their behavior.
BitDefender Antivirus Free Edition isn't bloated with add-ons that you'll never use, but it does include anti-phishing and anti-fraud tools to keep students safe when they're banking and shopping online.
Evernote
A cloud-based notebook that's perfect for gathering research in one place

| Evernote |
When you're researching a project, you need somewhere to keep all your notes and resources. Evernote lets you upload 60MB of data per month (which goes a long way when you're mostly dealing with text), syncs across two devices (the mobile apps are also free), lets you share notes and whole notebooks with friends, and makes everything you've clipped searchable.
Evernote also has a web interface, which means your notes are accessible from any device with an internet access – including computers in the IT center or library that don't have the app installed.
To get the most from Evernote, we recommend installing the Web Clipper browser extension so you can add whole web pages, bookmarks, or individual articles to your notebooks with a click.
EaseUS Todo Backup Free
Protect work from accidental deletion, malicious attacks or drive failure
 |
| EaseUS Todo Backup Free |
Your college work is irreplaceable, so a regular backup routine is essential. You never know when your PC's drive might fail, you could fall victim to a ransomware attack, or your laptop might be lost, broken or stolen on campus.
EaseUS Todo Backup Free makes protecting your documents as easy as possible. It can make an image of an entire drive (including the operating system), or just selected files or folders. The first time you start it, it begins backing up your documents folder automatically. After that, the choice is yours.
Getting started and set up a regular schedule is simplicity itself, and restoring from a backup is just as straightforward if the worst happens.
WhatsApp
Stay in touch with friends and family using any device – mobile or desktop
 |
You might already have the mobile app on your phone, but WhatsApp is also available for desktop devices. Just download the app from the Windows Store or iTunes, then scan the QR code on the screen with your phone to log in and sync your messages.
WhatsApp's main advantage over most chat apps is its double-ended encryption, which keeps your messages safe from interception. It's no longer just for text conversations either – it also supports video calls, and a recent update added the ability to set up group calls with up to four people.

You are correct that you do not have to spend money on software for study, as opposed to spending on buying papers from "write my essay fast" site which is the best essay writing service.
