    Good Programs, And/Or Good Programs For Computers

    I saw a thread discussing Ad-Aware, and the suggestion was to not use, but rather to use Spybot.

    What are some other bad and/or good programs?

    imesh, a file exchange program, is one of the most spy-ridden programs I've seen yet; somewhat related,
    AVG, a free virus detection program, seems very good.


    What are some others you would recommend, or condemn?

          Umm, despite the thread title, are these "Good" programs, or "Bad" ?

            Much easier to recommend good ones - a lot less to type.

              I agree, but I'd like to know the bad ones in advance.

              The thing is, at downloads.com, if one reads the description on imesh, they tell you it's full of Spyware.
              If you go to the imesh site instead, you're on your own.

                Good: PGP, PGPi or GPG - free public key encryption program for personal use.

                    It's better than PopUp Stopper? How?

                      I don't know if it's better than PopUp Stopper. I've never tried PopUp Stopper, but it does work very well. I've never seen a popup ad on Apolyton, and it also blocks the banner ads on the top of the page.

                        Mozilla is great. You can disable pop-up ads with it. Plus it's a good web browser

                          More powerful. You can do things like block embedded MIDI files, banner ads, redirects, etc.

                              Good - Winamp 2.8: A brilliant little program that plays music files. Does it's own little job and nothing else.

                              Bad - Winamp 3: A nasty, bloated piece of software that tries to be a replacement for Windows Media Player, at which it fails spectacularly. Crashes on all my computers.
                              "Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.
