WinAmp is a media player and is free. Diskeeper is an alternative to the standard defraging tool in Windows. For CD burning I use Nero Last edited by lil Jimmie; 10-05-2003 at 07:17 PM. |

Reviewing the original list - the following will NEVER touch my drive as they contain spyware and/or screw things up:
Download Accelerator Atomic Clock Sync WeatherBug Window Washer is questionable. Popup blockers and IE can do weird things too - I prefer alternative browsers that have popup controls built in. |

I use Opera and have popups set to pop up behind the active window in case it's something I need - there are a lot of sites that use legitimate popups for site functionality. It's easy to access the window from the tab bar. A bit of advice - stick with Opera 7.11 for now - 7.20 has some nasty bugs that will be addressed soon with 7.21.
