ditzy's application picks.
-
Below is a list of applications that I must use and must have. It is based on my peferences so you know the saying, one man's food is another poison. Usage of the software is at your own discretion and does not come under my jurisdiction.
I have left out Antivirus and spyware/adware apps coz I don't use them myself, I keep my registry neat and clean and spot anomolies from there, thus I don't use them. Enjoy.
General:
File compression/archiving
WinRar 3.4 Final
Windows tweaker and maintainence WinXP Manager v4.8.5.2
HDD defragmenter O & O Defrag
Registry maintainence RegCleaner, used in conjunction with WinXP manager
CDR burning Nero Burning Rom
Internet Browser Mozilla FireFox
CD-Ripping/audio conversion dBpowerAmp
Media:
MP3s Winamp 5.05
Videos BSplayer Pro/Windows Media Player Classic (certain video files work on either only, thats why the requirement for both)
Media codec pack Klite mega codec pack 1.03(decoding only)/ALplayback pack -
One more thing, I got all the above from www.suprnova.org, apps section. You need Bittorrent to d/l.

wat about AV?
(read: AV is not Adult Video) -
I don't use AV leh, serious. If I do, its only when I suspect. But rarely. But I would choose an AV software with small footprint, supersimple GUI (dun have all that snazzy graphics), update to eternity for free (no registration, no nothing). The last one I used was McAffee, they gave me unlimited updates for a year. It was a cracked version which kind of explains why.Originally posted by FireIce:wat about AV?
