641668 2008-02-19 04:07:00 I agree

Norton anything, - but in the 80's Norton Utilities were great !

Realplayer

Windows XP - good OS but bloatware.

641671 2008-02-19 05:10:00 Not sure about the worst program but this web site is the most unreliable I have ever seen.

It is starting to hang and not load at times - again.
Not consistently bad but frequent enough to be annoying.

Try pursing your lips,it's sometimes how you hold your mouth.

641673 2008-02-19 06:33:00 Anything made by Nortons to do with virii or firewalls
Nero4Linux
Acroread (for Linux)
MS Works
actually MS anything (some virii have more class and less bloatware)
Partition Magic (had soo many issues with that app)

Haven't used Apple so cannot comment too much (though the short stint I had with it, I reckon they overdid the glam factor majorly)

641674 2008-02-19 06:42:00 Acrobat
any and all software supplied with Telephones and MP3 players
Nortons everything
HP Printer software, 400MB of retarded bloat, 6 or 7 entries in startup, Makes many perfectly usable PC's in unusable piles of junk
Linux for obvious reasons.

641675 2008-02-19 06:49:00 Ahh yes Steam aka steaming pile of s**t. pine-o-cleen (2955)
641676 2008-02-19 07:11:00 Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot Acrobat Reader and the damn HP Solution Centre. Metla is absolutely right, all I need are drivers to print and scan and I get about 230MB worth of crap just to do that. beeswax34 (63)
