I like to think I'm the biggest computer geek here, so here's my short list. Peer Guardian 2 - IP blocker the is a MUST if you download torrents. It will block the anti P2P groups!! Avast! - Anti Virus / Security Angry IP Scanner Imgburn - CD/DVD burner Pidgin - IM client, covers AIM, Yahoo, AOL, IRC, ICQ, and much more. K-lite - Codec pack, play any video, any audio unless it's really hard to find. hamachi - VPN software (put your computers on a LAN over the web) TeamViewer - Remote Desktop DaemonTools - Virtual CD ROM Fileant - File explorer MultiMon - Useful for 2+ monitors DisplayFusion - Wallpapers for 2+ monitors 7-zip - Free answer to winzip/winrar. Ubuntu - Free Operating System. Clonezilla - Not the easiest to use, but it is free. This is imaging software. It will make an exact copy of your hard drive. If your computer ever crashes it will restore that exact copy and you are back up and running as if nothing happened. Couple of good Firefox addons to look for. Go to Tools > Addons and search for these if you want them. Flashgot - lets you download anything (suppose to anyway. Some advanced blocking gets around this, but it works pretty well on youtube.) AdblockPlus - Block banner ads. I remember proboards always having ads on their site. Are their ads on this forum? If so I don't see them. Ok, I'm tired of listing this now. Here are some of my sources. Portable Apps - This is a site full of software designed for portable drives. Audit My PC - I site meant to help you keep your computer safe and secure. The Free Country - This is a web site devoted to free software. I only recently found it, and have not had time to give it a good going over. I cannot give you a review on this site. Aside from The Free Country I have personally used these programs and sources and stand by my word on it. These are great tools and sites that have never let me down, and offer only the best of free and open source software. Enjoy. P.S. I advise against AVG. They are recently release updates that have harmed computers by falsely detecting key Windows components as viruses. Once these components are deleted it is no longer possible to boot your Windows based OS, and you must reinstall or repair. I highly recommend AVAST! over AVG. L.V. - If you are going to pay for an antivirus PLEASE avoid Norton PLEASE! It's a waste of money. I highly recommend PC-Cillin if you are going to pay for security software. It will cover you frond to back and has NEVER let me down. Also, if you are still having problems with your computer I invite you to send me a PM and we can chat about it. I'll help you as best as I can. It might also help you to know that I work in IT, and that this is a key source of my info. I have seen too many computers come into our office running Norton Anti-virus, and must be cleaned. Just avoid anything Symantec Norton was great till these idiots messed it up.
