What is your favorite 'must-have' PC app?

Some little gems there guys. I'm already using a couple. At glanze, not a head-count, Chrome is most popular followed by Sandboxie.

So I've resurrected Sandboxie (see siggy) and finally loaded Chrome to see what the fuss is about.

 

My most used

Bleechbit
CCleaner + CCenhancer
BCwipe
Jetclean
Auslogics Registry Cleaner
Wise Disk & Registry Cleaner
VirtualBox

 

Nirlauncher with integrated Sysinternals Suite

 

1. Definitely would be Acronis True Image (recovery disk). Let's me experiment and alternate while figuring out if I wanted Win 8.

2. Next would be Firefox with Adblock plus.

3. Finally, K9 Web protection. It's improved and and working well.

 

Is it similar with AdBlock Plus?

Thanks.

 

Thanks, it is really an interesting start menu!

 

i`ll skip the security software because everyday a new, better one comes and goes..my favorite software was/is/will be FireFox!

 

Everything search engine

I never used AdBlock Plus as I do not use Firefox (Personal preference)
But AdMuncher works in all browsers, the home page explains much more then I could..............

I've been using it for years and it's one of the few app's I could count one one hand that I'm very happy with and have no intention on changing in the foreseeable future.
It is not free but worth every penny IMO.

 

what browser are you using? I just tried Chrome on my setup & as you can see my siggy has already reverted back to FF. Due to slowness & non responsive at times. I think maybe DW.

 

It was Opera for about three years but have recently switched to Chrome and the page rendering problem that I started having with Opera is gone and Chrome does defiantly seem a bit faster. Real time here is still DefenseWall coupled along side Shadow Defender and PC is as quick as it ever was.

 

Try WSCC to have a launcher for Nirsoft and SS.
Just an alternative

 

Yep nice

 

What is my favorite 'must-have' PC program?

Do I have to pick one only?

 

FARR i cant go without my app launchers

 

Chrome, WinAmp, WinRAR and MPC:HC

 

Notezilla, Chrome, and Shadow Defender.

 

For me, probably XYplorer and Winrar.

 

first i gotta have a good file manager.
i tried a whole bunch of those and my 2 favorites are DOpus and XYplorer.

then i got to have a PIM of some sort (Personal Information Manager) to grab article and snippets from the web, keep track of todos and appointments etc...
i have gone through a whole bunch of those because i have an addiction problem. lol
i finally settled in the last few days on MyInfo Pro.

other favorites:

word processor: Atlantis
music player: Audacious
cleaning apps: BleachBit and CCleaner
system monitors: Autorun, System Explorer, HWiNFO
on demand AVs: HMP, VirusTotal, Jotti
firewall: Look and Stop Firewall
PDF viewer: PDF X-change viewer
file encryption: TrueCrypt
desktop tools: StrokePlus (mouse gesture) and VirtuaWin (virtual monitors)

 

My favorites:

Comodo Firewall
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11
Norton Zone
Guild Wars 2
Privazer
Bitdefender Antivirus, Panda Cloud, Avast or EXE Radar Pro (I tend to switch between these quite often)
Firefox
Steam
Speccy
Process Lasso
Malwarebytes

 

1) Admuncher
2) Fences (absolute must)
3) RollbackRX

 

Fences huh? I don't think I've had desktop icons enabled for a long time, I use the desktop more as a picture frame, lol.

 

Whenever I have a new PC, I always install these two programs.

1. rocketdock
2. teracopy

 

Firefox
Adblock Plus
CCleaner
Eset

Just off the top of my head. There are others but those are tops for me at the moment on each PC that I own or use at work.

 

This is a difficult one as I am not sure if I can choose one favourite. I always like PDF-XC, VLC, Google Earth, Marble, Paint.NET, Stellarium & Celestia on any PC I run. I also like OpenOffice & AbiWord. They are all my favourite.
