Ah, I've been meaning to write here, this is a very useful thread! Here are a couple of software I find practical:

Kaspersky - I'm using Kasp 2009 atm and it's not a heavy antivirus, runs pretty smoothly and I haven't had any problems with virus ever since I started using it.

MalwareBytes Anti Malware - Free and pretty good software that removes unwanted programs (including programs that you don't even know you had on your computer) + some types of viruses and spywares

Acronis True Image - This is a VERY useful software for making backups. It allows you to make a clone of your whole hard disk, so that if you have a problem, you can just format your pc, and put the clone running and it will be in perfect conditions. It saved my ass a couple of times before ^^

Recuva - If you accidentaly deleted something, this is what you need to get the files back. I've managed to recover whole folders that I accidentally deleted Wink

SnagIt - A very nice software that allows you to make screencaptures, but it does much more than that. You can set timming for the captures, it has multiple types of in build settings that can be helpful if you want to capture something on your screen and it has a very quick editor so you can edit the image as soon as it's captured.

Mini Lyrics - Hands down one of my favorite little softwares. This is a program, that attaches itself to your media player (wmp, winamp or any other music player you have) and it automatically downloads the lyrics from the song you're listening and displays it on screen. Very cool!

Team Viewer - This is a very useful program in case you ever have a friend that needs your help with the computer and you cannot go there personally. This program allows you to connect with your friend, and take control of his desktop. Solved many things using this program, helping my sister and my lady ^^

Object Dock - This is more of a graphical program that helps you have a neat, stylish menu with icons on your desktop. It doesn't eat a lot of memory and it's very cool Wink

hahaha... yes.. team viewer... really like that one... and i admit i got lost many times with some programs... why computers cant be just a simple thing Embarassed

and yes, most of the software i have, it is definitely courtesy of my hubby Razz

so definitely without his help on this matter, i could have thrown my laptop to the wall crying

(and i dont really want to do that now).

Well, this isn't software exactly, but it has been pretty useful for me, so I'm gonna share it with u guys since I'm so nice. Smile

- These two, can convert anything from youtube to mp3.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

- This one can, as the name indicates, cutmp3. For example, you've a song that has some dude in the beginning or in the end saying WEST SIDE FO' REAL, you can cut his fucking voice, has been pretty useful with some songs for me. Sadly, I don't believe it can cut in any part of the song.

Anyway, I hope it can help any of u Wink

Although this is just an add-on for firefox, I thought it might help you guys like it helped me.
Did it ever happen to you that you're searching for something on the net, maybe info, maybe something to download and you get to some website or forum and you cannot view the info cause you're not registered?

Yup, I know, it sucks right?
Fortunately, there's a solution for most of those websites or forums, and it comes in the form of an add-on for Firefox users, called BugMeNot.

This handy add-on has a growing database of logins for several websites which you can use at your own disposal. Just install the add-on, go to one of these forums/websites, right click on the login form and select "Login with BugMeNot". If there's an account made in the ButMeNot database, then you'll be logged in Wink

Ah nice one xD

Very useful little software for studies/work but not only.
You can create several categories in your organizer (personal stuff, meetings, etc) which I find very useful.
Easy to use, well-made and simple, I believe it has all the necessary things you might want to expect from a calendar.
Also, the overview of the month for example is very much appreciated (to be aware when you will be in deep shit or things like that xD).

Maybe not a software, but still worth posting IMO.

Well, lets see...

I never found myself to be so busy that I would forget what I have to do and needed a calendar or agenda to remind me. I guess it would help put things in perspective though and know where and how much you spend doing what. But living my life by a schedule isn't really my thing, even if I'm the one making the schedule for now, I don't think I would respect it. Perhaps later on it will come to use, so ty for the share.

I liked the Prezi presentation. Looks like something I would use if I'd want to make an unique and stylish presentation.

Foxit Reader:

- An alternative to the usual Adobe Reader. This little software is free and does everything you need it to do. If you like reading books or magazines on your computer/phone then I recommend this over Adobe Reader, since it's lighter, free, and this is is just imo - better looking. xD

BitChe:

- A little software for searching torrents over a lot of websites at the same time. With this software you no longer need to open your browser to search for torrents. Just type what you want to look for and compare the results between the multiple possibilities.

MyPhone Explorer:

*This is only for Android or Sony Erricson phone users*

With this little software you can connect your phone to your pc and be able to do a lot of things, like explore your phone inside out through your pc, edit your settings/contacts/profiles etc.
Most importantly and the reason I liked and I'm sharing this with you: you can back up all your contacts/sms and save them on your pc. So if you have some sms that you never want to lose, well.. then you won't have to.

I know what you mean. Like you said, you might not find a use for it now but maybe later (same for me, I ain't using it right now). But it can come handy for other things, like reminding you about someone's birthday or something.

Hm, could be interesting but in my opinion, there are advantages to go look yourself for torrents on websites because you got the comments of ppl who downloaded it and other informations. Now, I'd need to actually try it ^^

Administrator Posts : 938 Join date : 2010-10-04 Age : 35

Well, the cool thing about it is that when you select a torrent you can choose to open the webpage it's on to view comments. I do that sometimes as well with suspicious torrents, but with most torrents I skip that process since they come from trusted torrent sites.
