2007-08-25T21:57:13Z 3043 5 This is a great program that I use alongside Lavasoft Adaware SE Personal. Having both of them means I never have troubles with excess spyware. With Spybot, I like how you can authorise registry changes. 4648903 2007-05-02T13:27:44Z 1250 2017-09-26T19:33:33Z SpyBot - Search & Destroy 5431 2009-10-24T09:18:48Z http://www.safer-networking.org http://wakoopa.com/software/spybot-search-and-destroy http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/087/555/normal.png?1245661970 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/087/555/thumb.png?1245661970 434 Safer Networking Limited http://wakoopa.com/developers/safer-networking-limited 36 Anti-Spyware http://wakoopa.com/categories/security/anti-spyware win Spybot Search & Destroy is a free utility application for the prevention, detection, and removal of spy-ware, ad-ware, and malaware. 2007-06-24T08:15:24Z 2132 5 The last time I used Adobe Acrobat Reader, it was about 40Mb. I found this on the 'net and it does exactly the same stuff, but only took about 2Mb space - it wasn't exactly hard to choose. I think the Adobe Reader has become even more bloated since then. Foxit is great - and doesn't even need an installer program. 86832215 2007-04-30T15:08:23Z 469 2019-10-15T19:26:24Z Foxit Reader 7937 2009-11-23T15:17:02Z http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php http://wakoopa.com/software/foxit-pdf-reader http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/133/231/normal.png?1250246817 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/133/231/thumb.png?1250246817 1727 Foxit Software http://wakoopa.com/developers/foxit-software 38 Document Viewers http://wakoopa.com/categories/office/document-viewers win linux Foxit Reader is a free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible small size (only 2.1 M download size), breezing-fast launch speed and amazingly rich feature set. Foxit Reader supports Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003/Vista. Its core function is compatible with PDF Standard 1.7. 2007-06-24T08:12:21Z 2131 5 It's a really useful program that I've been using for ages. I find it to be a great way of organising all sorts of notes, instead of e.g. having multiple .txt files in a folder and each file having only one or two lines. Another useful thing is how you can drag stuff around the page (or sub-page), copy and paste and also draw and insert pictures. 46967158 2007-04-23T13:24:57Z 238 2018-07-27T07:29:16Z Office OneNote 6132 2009-11-24T01:55:30Z http://office.microsoft.com/onenote http://wakoopa.com/software/office-onenote http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/161/276/normal.png?1256991277 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/161/276/thumb.png?1256991277 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation 59 Productivity http://wakoopa.com/categories/office/productivity win Microsoft Office OneNote, usually referred to as Microsoft OneNote, is a tool for notetaking, information gathering, and multi-user collaboration by Microsoft. While many earlier systems relied on linear text flow (simple lists), OneNote visualizes notes as a two-dimensional page. OneNote also adds modern features such as drawings, pictures, multimedia audio, video, and ink as well as multi-user sharing of notes. 2007-06-24T08:08:53Z 2130 5 This is a great program for video - it has so much support for so many different file types. I can also watch Quicktime videos without having Quicktime on my system. I can also watch Flash videos I've downloaded using Firefox. I like the playlist feature aswell. It's only 'ok' for playing audio, but to be honest, the main point of the program is playing video. 892443324 2009-02-09T11:48:55Z 198793 2019-09-18T08:58:15Z VLC Media Player 21004 2009-11-29T14:20:22Z http://www.videolan.org/vlc http://wakoopa.com/software/vlc-media-player http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/151/799/normal.png?1254577380 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/151/799/thumb.png?1254577380 1883 VideoLAN team http://wakoopa.com/developers/videolan-team Audio & Video players 25 Players http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/players mac win linux VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player and multimedia framework capable of reading most audio and video formats (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, MPEG-1, mp3, ogg, aac ...) as well as DVDs, Audio CDs VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

For video I would always use VLC. There was a long period of time where I would use WinAmp for music, but there were some aspects of it that started to annoy me, so I went back to WMP (v10) and it does the job fine. 445027354 2007-04-20T12:18:12Z 105 2019-10-10T01:01:08Z Windows Media Player 35433 2009-11-22T03:14:55Z http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/default.aspx http://wakoopa.com/software/windows-media-player http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/135/279/normal.png?1250593365 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/135/279/thumb.png?1250593365 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation Audio & Video players 25 Players http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/players mac win Windows Media Player (WMP) is a digital media player and media library application developed by Microsoft that is used for playing audio, video and images on personal computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system, as well as on Pocket PC and Windows Mobile-based devices. 2007-06-23T13:27:50Z 2113 5 I've tried various IM clients over the years when I've been on Windows. I tried MSN Messenger briefly, but moved onto Trillian because of it being able to handle multiple types of IM. However, certain aspects of it started to annoy me after a while and everyone I'm in contact with uses MSN. I briefly tried Miranda, but didn't like it that much - I think it was something to do with the size of the app. I tried Windows Live Messenger and have stuck with it. Not too many adverts, does exactly what I want and there's even a scripting facility if I wanted to play with that. The 'Plus' package is useful too. 2147483647 2007-04-18T17:58:50Z 28 2019-10-15T19:26:24Z Windows Live Messenger 35222 2009-11-27T02:33:35Z http://get.live.com/messenger http://wakoopa.com/software/messenger http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/161/736/normal.png?1257131748 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/161/736/thumb.png?1257131748 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation Communicate with others via chat or instant messengers 5 Messengers & Chat http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/messengers-chat mac win Windows Live Messenger, commonly referred to by the previous names of MSN Messenger or MSN for short, is an advertisement-supported instant messaging client for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Mobile, first released on July 22, 1999 by Microsoft.

It is perhaps one of Microsofts forefronts of technology after their Windows OS. 2007-06-23T13:21:22Z 2112 5 Picture Manager is basic - but you don't necessarily need a massive program with loads of features all the time. I like this because it's easy to do batch resizing of images and batch rotations. If I wanted to do something more advanced though, I would always use Photoshop. 12497722 2007-05-02T11:40:37Z 972 2017-03-22T01:42:38Z Office Picture Manager 6594 2009-11-14T00:54:47Z http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/CH010001171033.aspx http://wakoopa.com/software/office-picture-manager http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/016/917/normal.png?1239010829 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/016/917/thumb.png?1239010829 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation Organize your images and photos 60 Image Management http://wakoopa.com/categories/design/image-management win Microsoft Office Picture Manager allows you to manage, edit, and share your pictures.

The GUI editor is also great - so easy to use. However, it is a huge program. There are many other apps out there which take up less space and can handle many more languages. 459928428 2007-04-18T13:21:12Z 14 2018-11-20T21:33:31Z Visual Studio 9882 2009-11-27T20:27:43Z http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio http://wakoopa.com/software/visual-studio http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/157/772/normal.png?1256193643 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/157/772/thumb.png?1256193643 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation 51 Text Editors & IDEs http://wakoopa.com/categories/development/text-editors-ides win Microsoft Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship software development product for computer programmers.

I can see that it caters for everybody, but by having WYSIWYG functionality, you risk having websites with poor-quality HTML/XHTML. Having said that, I like the range of templates and the intellisense - the second of those two I feel is incredibly useful. 289645242 2007-04-20T11:11:36Z 102 2017-09-02T17:57:42Z Adobe Dreamweaver 9100 2009-11-25T04:42:45Z http://adobe.com/products/dreamweaver http://wakoopa.com/software/adobe-dreamweaver http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/128/171/normal.png?1249192493 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/128/171/thumb.png?1249192493 22620 Adobe Systems Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/adobe-systems-inc 51 Text Editors & IDEs http://wakoopa.com/categories/development/text-editors-ides mac win Adobe Dreamweaver (formally Macromedia Dreamweaver) is a design tool for developing standards-based websites and applications.
