So Sussan don't get hysteric about this. And since I don't know ya I can call you whatever I want. How do I know that you a male??? Anyway, this is not the point. Take care. This thread was thought to be for top 5 progz one installs but the you come and tell us: Use MS sh1t it is spyware-free MY A$$.

So long Jannet and let this rain from my home town here in Germany don't wet your butt in sunny California :D PEACE, AMIN

Firefox/Thunderbird
ZipGenius
Codecs (incl. RealPlayer Alternative and QuickTime Alternative)
Winamp
OpenOffice.org 2.0
ZoneAlarm
AntiVir
Trillian
Ad-aware/Spybot
Acrobat

ZA, AV, and FF are always first; the others go in no particular order... often they don't get installed till I want to open a file of that type and realize I don't have the program.

Yeah, I know that's 14 programs. Sue me.

I typically don't install much, just the OS. All my applications are on separate partitions. So I usually go:

WinXP
Drivers/DirectX
Then any apps I find that don't work without being installed first, such as Visual Studio and Office

Everything else is launched from toolbar menus that are saved on a separate partition.

assuming you are talking about your own computers, why do so many of you install 2+ spyware removal programs? I keep my computer patched up and use firefox and I've never had a spyware program install itself on my computer. Why do you all suck so much at life?

1. savce10
2. office
3. firefox
4. bittornado
5. video codecs
