You can't load these into the standalone Pod Farm so yes, you will need a DAW.
You can't go wrong with Reaper:
http://www.reaper.fm/
It has a two month trial. After that has ended you are told to buy it. Strictly, you don't HAVE to buy it as it doesn't put any restrictions on the software but if you use it a lot then it is very cheap relative to other DAW's out there.
Once you have installed reaper and got it up and running. Click on track at the top and then click insert new track. This will then load you a new track. To get the sound of your guitar coming through click the dark red circle. This will arm your track to record. You will also need to turn monitoring on which is a little gray button with what looks like a triangle but i actually a speaker symbol. Click that and it should turn green. You should now be hearing your raw guitar sound coming through your speakers.
To load Pod Farm you will probably need to reinstall it and it should give you the option when installing to add it to a VST folder. The VST folder it needs to go in is Program Files > Reaper > VSTPlugins.
Once you have done this go back into Reaper and on the track you have created click the "FX" button. A small window will popup. Find Pod Farm and load it up. This will then load Pod Farm up.
You should notice in this window it says Pod Farm on the left hand side. This is basically your chain of plugins. Top being the first plugin in the chain. Now to add the impulse loader click FX on the top left of the window and find the impulse loader and click it. Then load up your impulse and you're good to go. Remember to turn off the cab simulation within Pod Farm first.
