711380 2008-10-11 00:01:00 Hi Everyone,

I need to ask you some questions.

What do you think is the best...

1. Antivirus program?
2. Internet Browser?
3. Office suite? (e.g. MS Office, Open Office, Star Office etc.)
4. Media Player?
5. Email program?
6. Instant Messaging program?

Then I'll only install that program and remove all others in that category.

Thanks

711381 2008-10-11 00:08:00 Theres a few posts in here already

Depends what program you like, and whether you want to pay for it

Some people use Avast, AVG whatever, some people like Opera / FF / IE / whatever.

Only way to find out is try them yourself

711383 2008-10-11 00:09:00 Ah no FF isnt Chrome, theyre made by different companies Speedy Gonzales (78)
711384 2008-10-11 00:22:00 i mean when chrome is fully stable chrome will be better than firefox 4 me pcuser7895 (12979)
711385 2008-10-11 00:23:00 Ah ok then, that sounds better / makes more sense

I just use Avast coz its free. Might try Comdo Internet Security, once its final (yes theyre making a suite)

Browser FF / Opera, or IE. I'm not fussy. They all do the same thing.

Office suite. Well since Office 07 is installed, I may as well use that.

Might try Openoffice 3. By the looks of it's final but not on the site

Dont really use a media player. But if I did, I'll either use Winamp or Jetaudio

Outlook or OE is good enough for email. Why use another. All I do, is send and receive email. Both of them do that

Dont use IM messengers, only Mirc. You get to chat to more people, at the same time

Yahoo Messenger is crap and full of bots, more than anything else
