Google Offers Essential Software

I guess everybody has a collection of favorite softwares that is copied every time the operating system is reinstalled. Google knows it and decided to obtain some popularity on this fact, creating a pack with the most used applications from the internet.

The collection entitled "Google Pack" contains the following utilities: Google Earth, Picasa, Google Pack Screensaver, Google Desktop, and Google Toolbar for IE. There are also some additional programs available for download: Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar, Norton Antivirus 2005 Special Edition, Ad-Aware SE Personal and Adobe Reader 7. The optional software category includes Google Talk, RealPlayer, Skype, Google Video Player and GalleryPlayer HD Images.

"Google Pack is a free collection of essential software from Google and other companies. The software in the Google Pack helps you browse the web faster, remove spyware and viruses, organize your photos, and more," the company said.

"The Google Updater is the program that downloads and installs all the software in the Google Pack. You can use the Google Updater to monitor the status of your installation, run software that's been installed, or uninstall software. A Google Updater icon will appear in your system tray and will display notifications when there are updates or new software available.

For programs you select and that you already have installed on your computer, the Google Updater checks whether you have the latest version. If you don't, the Google Updater will install the latest version. If you already have the latest version, the Google Updater won't install the program," the company said.

Google Pack is available as a free download on Softpedia.
