| 490320 | 2006-10-09 08:07:00 | Too many options for a poll. I can't think of anything too annoying on my computer, but the most annoying legit program I've seen on anyone's computer is Mcafee Antivirus - more ads than a lot of spyware Twas sarcasm. |

| 490321 | 2006-10-09 08:09:00 | Been quite a few years since I had it, but Real Player takes the cake for me. You think RealPlayer for Windows is awful? You should try RealPlayer for Linux! Adobe Acrobat reader for Linux is pretty nasty as well. I uninstalled it because I got sick of it being loaded as a Firefox plugin - opening a PDF took ages and the memory usage of the FF program instantly doubled. I now use KPDF, which loads documents much faster, is much simpler to use, and supports many features in an intuitive manner. Other close competitors are Windows Media Player (Give me amaroK any day), The Windows configuration tools, Norton Antiwhatever, and of course trojans and worms (it's a close race with the others in this list though). |

| 490327 | 2006-10-09 08:49:00 | Hmmm, most annoying program.... gotta be explorer.exe. Oh and anything not supported by dpkg/apt. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 490328 | 2006-10-09 14:10:00 | If on windows... any of the default apps (media player, IE , OE, etc), Nortons whatever (except Ghost), Quicktime, real player .... If on Linux, anything windows related is usually ugly as; not to mention painful.. Nero for Linux.. Acroread (Adobe acrobat pdf reader) |
