fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 You accidentally included chrome on your list. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/716026-reccomended-pc-programs/#findComment-590345808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0u1s Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Chrome is pretty good But I'll have to disagree with Anti-Vir. Annoying full screen pop-up (in free version) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/716026-reccomended-pc-programs/#findComment-590345852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. S. Veteran Posted January 1, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 1, 2009 Why should I trust your list if you can't even spell Recommended :unsure: Also, no descriptions, no screenshots, no discussion of the strong points of the apps. Dumping your Applications bookmark folder in a post does not make it a guide.

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted January 1, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted January 1, 2009 I don't care if you can't spell, most of your choices are good ones. Use Firefox, it has a spellchecker. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/716026-reccomended-pc-programs/#findComment-590347182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 i will take itunes off my list and put songbird/foobar Why? It wouldn't be your list then, it would be everybody who didn't like your choices list... er or something like that. ;) There is already a list of freeware alternatives here.

soldier1st Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 itunes is garbage as it forces quicktime on you and several other things apple related stuff and i myself prefer to not having excess stuff installed without telling me and utorrent is a better alternative to vuze, adaware used to be good but there are better ones like super antispyware and malwarebytes.if apple would ask you if you would like all these things or not then i would be fine about it.

bjoswald Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Actually, you could edit the settings for the daily update routine in AntiVir and change it from 'minimized' to 'invisible'. I have yet to see that pop-up since. Also, Chrome is shaping up to be a great browser. Personally, I don't need all those extensions Firefox offers, so Chrome is lean and quick enough. No need for MySpace IM when you could have everything you need in Miranda or Pidgin. Ad-aware is unnecessary due to Windows Defender. No need for manual scans, just set it to scan daily (or weekly) and remove according to detection rules. Set it and forget it. I can't comment on the other programs, as I either don't need them or don't know what they are.
