| Computer Programs
Hey,
Anyone got suggestions on useful (I know this will mean different things to different people.) programs.
I just formatted my PC and now using Windows 7.
Any suggestions on programs to install?
I usually just work/surf/office and I do play SC2 whenever i get a chance.
Music players? I am using windows security, any other suggestions.
Programs that you would use but I would never think of but might acutally find useful? Shoot it out there!
Thanks!

i recently moved from avg to microsoft security essentials. it gets pretty good reviews online, and the footprint is very small. it's almost like an embedded feature of win7, except it isnt :P
if you care about what's on your computer at any given time, Acronis True Image (I guess 2011 should be out soon). I keep an image of a clean install so every reformat takes ~20 mins now, then I load up programs from there. On my laptop, I use it to take images every 2 weeks or so because it has my school work/settings.
