office software

The 'hyperlink' refers to free office software: word, excel etc - but where is it?

Also, antivirus software is always said to cost £30 plus for Norton, macafee - but this is rubbish - new versions cost £8 plus on eBay

    If you actually read the article it says that the programs in openoffice are equivalent to word,excel etc and will actually operate with the same filetype.

    True if you want to buy dodgy or OEM copies, and if you do you may as well just get the free legal software which I've found to be less resource hungry and better at detecting viruses.
