Having trouble logging in...

Here are my apps:

1. Avira antivir - antivirus my first line of defence
2. RAMIdleLE - memory manager
3. Glary Utilities -system tools and spyware scanner
4. 7zip - archiving tool
5. Format Factory - multimedia conversion
6. K-Lite Mega Pak - codecs of course
7. DeepBurner Free - for burning CD/DVD
8. Foxit Reader - for my ebooks
9. Free Download Manager - I am a download junkie
10. PortableApps Suite. - OpenOffice.org + other apps

Tmagic650 let's see your list.

Hmm...

1). K-Lite + MPC
2). MeGui
3). Chrome
4). Office
5). WinRAR
6). CCleaner + massive uninstall, depending on whats on my recovery disk, if I have one.
7). Foxit
8). Orbitz (maybe??)
9). CPL Mouse fix+ mouse drivers
10). STARCRAFT (YAY!) +Chaos launcher and Iccup launcher! Then CSS if the computer has a suitable graphics card.

Thats what I can think of now, I feel I left some important stuff.
EDIT: Daemon Tools to install more.

hellokitty[hk] 2 in common. I use Daemon Tools Lite though.

Meh same thing, I think i'm using lite too.

[hk] what's your AV? not included in your 10 so your system is vulnerable.

Haha, thats true, I guess I am vulnerable, if I reformat, I will throw in Avira too, but with school, that will probably be over winter break or near june.
I don't have anything on my computer anyway, and I periodically install and run Avira scans.

Go Portable

I've gotten maybe half way through portable apps creation master 1.6 so far .
Anyway, wouldn't I have to install it to update every little while?

Just download the AVsig ivdf_fusebundle_nt_en.zip maybe weekly and do a manual update. It runs on it's own folder so its "no install" and doesn't affect the registry, modified files are written in its subdir. I uploaded one on the other thread.

I also modified SuperAntiSpyware to run portable. Didn't use it guess I'm not an SS fan.

If your were to recommend a replacement on any of my top 10 what would that be. Kindly state your pros and cons.

5. Format Factory - multimedia conversion
7. DeepBurner Free - for burning CD/DVD

I usually use MeGui for converting, and DVD flick.

I'll give it a try. I use FF for converting movies to PSP MP4. Deep Burners for backups only.

MeGui probably isn't as easy to use o.o.
EDIT: Actually, I suck at it.

lol

My 10 Apps

1. AVG (This would have been BitDefender but I've had nothing but trouble with it for 6 months now)
2. Firefox
3. Spybot
4. Microsoft Office (OpenOffice suite if we're looking only at free apps)
5. Pidgin
6. GIMP
7. Maybe VLC Media Player?
8. Foxit
9. 7zip
10. A toss-up between Deep Shredder 10 and Diablo II (chess or gaming.. hmmm)

I think a PC with those programs could keep me going for a while.

My brand new PC arrives tomorrow so I'll be able to test that theory. ;-)

Why not try Avira Antivir it's better and also free.
