The only tweaking I did was how I wanted to view everything. There are lots of buttons and whistles :-). I have tried firefox and Avant is still superior in my opinion. Try it.. it's free .

My favourite freeware is probably Mozilla.

I'm also beginning to quite like DAP.

Alright screw that!

I've decided I'll just use the built-in download prog with Mozilla, which (Mozilla) is still my favourite.

Ad-Aware is great though.

Let me see ... I also have ZoneAlarm and Hidden & Dangerous ( a free WWII pre-SOCOM by Take2 ).

Printkey is now Shareware however they still have a link to their "free" version. Great for screen captures/resizing. Great product, ideal for documentation.

I came across the perfect web browser

after experiencing:
Firefox
IE
Avant
Opera

i came across Maxthon, very similar to Avant yet a tad bit faster AND not as many people know about it resulting in less hackers/viruses you know...

http://www.maxthon.com/

However, keep it on the hush because i don't want tooo many people finding out about it, i just thought it would be a special something for all of you on Tech Support Guy because i love this site with my heart and soul!

k thanks!

I came across this program while testing different email applications and was pleasantly surprised. This email client supports multiple users and even has a built in notifier. Give it a try.

Avast! anti-virus is my favorite freeware. I used to use AVG as my free anti-virus, but Avast! does a lot more- such as being able to scan the hard drive before Windows start (great for catching viruses). It also has many customizable settings for the advanced user, but can run simply with little configuration for the novice. Of course, Firefox is w00tiful but that goes without saying.

All you really need to control what loads when you boot up your computer.

Very small and works great.

It's easy to install but harder to remove. One must be careful to determine how to remove before installing. Also, author's discussion site is not monitored and is not user friendly.

Startup.cpl is a snap to uninstall but who in their right mind would want to?
Just search and delete. Or go to C:\windows\system32 .. it's there.

It's a must have in my book
