Mr_Odwin Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Personally I would recommend Foobar2000 over WinAmp, but that's just me. I would suggest using notepad2 over notepad. I've even replaced the notepad.exe on my comp with it. There are more I'd say, but I'm feeling lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 The antivirus and firewall sections needs more software. And does zonealarm work with the nintendo wifi dongle? Few months ago it didn't. Anyhow, firewalls: Sunbelt kerio personal firewall: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio-Download.cfm It has 30 day trial period, after which it shuts down some features. Like web- filtering and ad blocking. They're mostly useless, the only feature that I would've liked to have after 30 days is gateway mode. Jetico v 1.0 freeware http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirewall.htm It's a resource friendly and small firewall. But it's a total bitch to configure. It's very effective though. I wouldn't recommend it unless you know pretty much about computers and networks. Comodo http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ I don't know much about this. It requires a free registration. But it's quite good from what I've heard. For windows users: quicktime and real alternative http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm Real alternative is much better than realplayer. And the official quicktime has broken my system more than once (thanks a lot, apple! ) And I would put vlc as the recommended video player. Codec packs usually cause more problems than they solve. CCCP looks ok, but it's for mainly anime? VLC is fine if one's just viewing video's. For encoding one'd need to install the needed codec.
