Software advice

[Kyure]

What's the best program to use for tracking daily activities such as...
cust. name
yds/sf
t/u
furn.
steps
prep
material type
supplies used
etc. etc.
Is excel all there is, what do you guys use.
Would be cool if there was something customized for flooring labor categories, google only brings up estimator software.
Saw quickbook with the flooring add on but I don't need all that, something simpler.

K You can try a free trial of this one. There are plenty out there . None of them give you a price though.

Google Docs has a free version of Excel.

 

[Kyure]

Thanks Nick, yea that stuff has way more than I would use.
Estimator, sales, payroll...
I was about to ask about a free version of excel or something similar.
I don't know, google already knows everything I do don't they?
Do I really want them storing anything else on me. Or is that just being paranoid.

IDK. I don't use it because I had to buy Word 2013 for class anyway. But I heard it was OK.

Too many years of notebooks piling up.

While we're on the subject. I use:
Ms essentials
Malwarebytes
Spybot s&d
Am I missing anything I should have as far as security goes?
And I pm'd you. Thanks

What do you have for a firewall, and antivirus?

 

[Kyure]

What do you have for a firewall, and antivirus?

Windows firewall and ms security essentials

 

[Nick]

OK, Windows firewall is not bad .
Zone Alarm Free is better, and you can have both of them running without conflicts.

Avast is a much better antivirus, But you would have to delete MS Security .
If you deside to do that let me know i will post instructions on removing it.

For some reason it is not taking the links. You can google them and download from their site.
