First Thing You Install After Windows

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.
Mark Twain

Manny Calavera, it's better to get freeware from a site directly. After all it's free & 0% chance of file corruption & newest available versions

What do you mean?
Did you know you can DL any software from any site even if it costs $500.00 and then just go and look for a serial number or crack.
There are many fine places to get them.
Crackfind.com is one of my favs!
Morality Shmality.
I don't want to hear that crap.
I get sick and tired of people in this forum even posing the question.
The mere fact that your even in this forum suggests you DL all kinds of copyrighted material.
Probably everyday!
You don't have a moral leg to stand on.
So everyone please shut up on the morality thing.
Ok?

First things first people!
1.Antivirus software - this should be the very first thing!
2.Firewall
3.Now that those 2 essential things are installed it's off to..you guessed it
Windows Critical Updates
4.Winzip/Winrar - gotta have em'
After that it's a free for all!

Actually UltraBar isn't really the first thing I install. You are right, I install Norton Antivirus first. I am on a router so I have no personal firewall. Winrar is also something I install right away. I have XP but I don't like it's archive support. Some other stuff I find myself installing (after I've done some serious Windows configuration and tweaking, I use microsofts TweakUI for that) is:

Popup Block (very small popup blocker, the best i've come across, even better than Meaya's Popup Ad Filter)
Winamp (2 of course)
IrfanView (old version, I dont like the new one)
ICQ or Trillian Pro (I think they both suck but everybody uses them

)
If Miranda IM gets a little better I think I will be using that.
Messenger Plus Very good messenger add-on (If I didn't install Schmillian)
Babylon Translater (That proggy I miss very quickly)
HideOE (little program that enables you to minimize Outlook Express to the system tray in order to have email notification without having to keep OE in your taskbar all the time)
WinBar (an extra taskbar that displays system info (mem, cpu, upload/download, and much more, very configurable)
uICE (to use my remote control to control winamp and everything else on my puter. TV-card needed)
after that I install stuff whenever I need it. (Nero, K-Lite, Emule, NetLimiter etc)

Very good post "riesdepies"
Irfanview looks interesting but Let me ask you something.
I've always wondered,how do you put the links in that way?
It is an excellent way to contribute to this board!
How?
So that I may contrbute in this way as well.

Hey winbar looks good too.
Mmmm I wonder why they're giving it away for free?
