Just curious to see what software members use. This could give some insight for some who don't know what to get. You can add a small comment on each app if you wish.

I'm a gamer 1st. Apps come in second. My games list is massive compared to the software i use. But we all need some important apps for everyday use and whatnot. Here's my current apps for now.

Anti-Virus:

Eset Nod 32 (3.0.694)

So long Norton. Nuf said

Web Browsing:

Internet Explorer 8.

It comes included with Windows and i don't have issues with it.

Email:

Windows Mail

It may be slow but I'm not in a hurry anyway.

Music & Video:

Windows Media Center

Come with Vista. I don't really need anything else. It's cool to watch TV too.

Office Suite:

Microsoft Office 2007 (student/Teacher Edition).

It was only 100$, Why pay an extra 300$ just to get Outlook?

Graphics suite:

CorelDraw Graphics suite X4.

Adobe's suite is just too expensive. Corel was the next logical choice.

Image Browser:

Faststone Image viewer 4.0.

I was a fan of Acdsee until i came across Faststone.

Web Authoring:

Net objects Fusion 8.

It's old but for what i do, it's sufficient.

Defragging:

Raxco's Perfectdisk 10 (build 129).

I don't mind paying for such a good product.

System tools (File & Registry cleaner):

Ccleaner & Jv16 Powertools 2009

Cleaner is fast & free. Jv16 takes care of the rest.

CD/DVD Burning:

Ashampoo Burning Studio 9.21.

I can't complain about this thing. It works great.

Zipping:

7Zip 9.10 beta.

Lightweight & free. Does more than i need.

Password Manager:

Keepass 2.09

Another great freeby. I could never access some of my accounts if it was'nt for this thing. I have some ridiculous and impossibly complex passwords.

Data Recovery:

Recuva 1.35

Yes. Deleting something important can happen especialy when you use "shift+del".

I skipped a few but this is most of it.

Anti-Virus:

Don't run an active anti-virus solution. If I mess with something naughty I usually notice right away or soon enough and go kill it myself.

Web Browsing:

Firefox. It takes a minute to download and I can't live without Addons.

Email:

GMail. Always open in the first browser tab. Haven't used a stand-alone e-mail client since 2004.

Music & Video:

Foobar2000. Flexible, powerful, and highly customizable. Haven't used WinAMP since 2004.

Office Suite:

Office 2007.

Graphics suite:

None at the moment. Always had Photoshop installed but haven't needed it in a long time. I stick to lightweight editing programs, used to be Nero's, now I just use Paint LOL.

Image Browser:

Windows default.

Web Authoring:

Notepad, if I ever have to anymore.

Defragging:

Smart Defrag

System tools (File & Registry cleaner):

Ehh... HijackThis?

CD/DVD Burning:

Anti-Virus:

CSA

Common Sense Antivirus. Free, doesn't slow your system down at all, and extremely secure. Compatible with every known OS.

Web Browsing:

Firefox

Noticeably faster than IE, free, stable, does everything I need.

Email:

Thunderbird

Fast, free, stable, does everything I need.

Music & Video:

VLC Media Player

Fast, free, can play almost anything. Just wish the playlist wasn't a separate window.

Office Suite:

OpenOffice.org

Fast, free, intuitive, powerful, fully functional.

Graphics suite:

Adobe Fireworks CS4 + Arcsoft PhotoStudio

Fireworks: PhotoShop's little brother—intuitive and quite powerful. ArcSoft PhotoStudio: a small, relatively unknown program that gets the basics done quickly, if you don't need something powerful.

Image Browser:

None.

I just use Windows Preview.

Web Authoring:

None.

No comments.

Defragging:

UltimateDefrag

No comments.

System tools (File & Registry cleaner):

None.

Common sense, careful selection and installation of software, and regular complete system reinstalls.

CD/DVD Burning:

Deepburner Free and Blaze Media Pro

DeepBurner is intuitive, quick, and effective for burning data to optical discs, and Blaze is awesome for converting and burning audio/video.

Zipping:

7Zip

Great little app.

Password Manager:

None.

My brain.

Data Recovery:

None.

RAID + common sense. :)

Who doesn't. When have you ever heard someone go, "I love that software, it is slow and cost a fortune."

I also like fast, free food, water, and women.
