List your top 10 fave software!

Recommended Posts

These are the ones I install first:

1. Winrar.exe (used to uncompress the rest) :thumbup

2. AVG free anti-virus

3. Sygate firewall

4. Codestuff Starter (to control all the unneeded startup programs)

5. Registrar lite (to make all those necessary tweaks and remove all the uninstall leftovers) B)

6. Foxit PDF reader (Acrobat too bloated)

7. Nero (bloated but still best)

8. Foobar 2000 (for tunes)

9. Mpc (for videos)

10. The Clock (my desktop wouldn't be complete without it)

...and all but two are free (but I still need another 20 installed before I am happy) :P
