Softwares you frequently use

Softwares i frequently use :-

zonealarm - the only firewall i trust ... tho i never use antivirus/anti spyware ... i'd rather format my comp once in 3 mons than using these and slowing my comp. i dont have vvv imp data on my comp tho...i always believe in taking backup. i did find kaspersky AV nice tho. Norton pisses me off ...its just too heavy on resources....edward norton is my fav actor tho.

ad muncher- eats those irritating ads and popups..loads the page faster..its just so amazing !

eudora - my fav email client.

ypops- supports yahoo.com mail id on eudora for free

DU meter- gives me an idea of how much i surf in an hour/day/week/month...quite handy

winamp- who doesnt?

powerdvd- best to play dvds

Nero- for burning dvds and cds

babylon dictionary - quite handy if u install appropriate glossaries from the site

remindme- reminds me of the imp dates/bdates etc at startup ... i m just too bad when it comes to remembering dates

mailwasher pro- its fun... it bounces the mail to the spammer...i have configured my hotmail in it which hosts only spam...i dunno why i check it...but its fun bounching spam

getright- downloading manager...tho i might soon switch over to flashget again

avant- i think it has come before the mozillas and firefox' ...its just an addon to IE... but very powerful..i use IE only when in cafe

ms office - word excel..routine stuff..frontpage sometimes.

winace - most people use .rar compression formats these days...winzip doesnt support it... winace supports both rar and zip formats.. so does winrar but i prefer winace's interface.

last but not the least yahoo/msn messengers - part and parcel of my life .. tho i found google messenger's interface so simple yet so beautiful..like a girl without a makeup

How is nero 7? is it too different from the previous versions? i heard it has some issues. i have downloaded it but havent installed.

Some additions to my original list:-

Outlook Express (better mail composition than eudora..mayb because of encoding)

Skype - to talk to my friends

Lynx Browser - Text only browser... its fun sometimes, tho a bit tidious

Winrar - i replaced winace with this one. new winrar is good.

Rediffbol and Indiatimes Chikka messengers - Ofcourse exclusively for sms' lolll

Fixit utilities - I use it just to clean my unwanted windows registery entries.

I am thinking of installing Nero7 but i am a bit reluctant as of now.

@a_medico
The Nero 7 I have had is the premium cum Ultra edition with all plugins enabled.
That is better than Nero 6 and the installer you have had may be different and may be a crippled down vertion or demo.
The Nero 7 I have had support BlueRay disk too :!:

It is much much powerful than NERO 6. :idea:

A great addtion is the Nero Vision 4. 8)
