		<description>These are the software I install every time I get the chance:

1) AVG
2) AdAware
3) Glary Utilities (it&#039;s like CCleaner with more options)
4) Firefox+plugins AdBlock, Webmail Notifier (without plugins I&#039;d use Chrome or Opera)
5) The KMPlayer (because it also plays TV and audio)
6) IZArc
7) utorrent
-------------------
8) OpenOffice (optional - I prefer Google Docs)</description>

		<description>Oau ..great resources. 
I use some of the tools listed above.. Great list! I use 7-Zip instead of Universal Extractor though.. It is very small, light on resources and opens all kinds of archives.. One other tool that you may have missed out on is an iso image reader.</description>

		<description>Digsby - supposedly Digsby&#039;s EULA says they can download &quot;work&quot; to your pc and use your unused cpu cycles to do research etc.  You can opt out by digging through the menu system and Unchecking a checkbox that is checked by default.</description>

		<description>@Brian: That&#039;s a little harsh, and not helpful. You should explain why sweepram is worse than useless (I agree that it is, but calling people idiots doesn&#039;t help them make better choices in the future).

My list; by no means everything, but the bare minimum for a &quot;useful&quot; Windows computer, in my opinion:

1. Avast anti-virus
2. ALzip or 7zip (ALzip is prettier, 7zip more powerful)
3. PageDefrag
4. ioBit&#039;s Smart Defrag
5. Notepad2 installed as a replacement for notepad
6. Hostsman and HostsServer (I use only the MVPS.org hosts file)
7. Firefox
8. Thunderbird
9. OpenOffice
10. FastStone Viewer
11. FastStone Resizer
12. Audiograbber
13. LAME_enc.dll (for Audiograbber)
14. Blade_Enc.dll (for Audiograbber)
15. CDburnerXP
17. VideoLAN (aka VLC Media Player)
18. Paint.NET

Yes, it&#039;s more than 10. No, I won&#039;t remove any from the list. Without those, the PC is incomplete.</description>
