u're probably best off doing a search on google to find out info on each

Adobe reader is a *.pdf viewer
adaware checks ur comp for adware & spyware
directx 9, read up about it on microsoft website
ditto for internet explorer service pack 1

The ones u probably want to look into are directx9, IE6 sp1, boostxp and virtuadub which u can get easily off the internet

Did you not read that? I was just trying to find out some quick info. All I am really looking for is for a few people to say whic ones they like and are worth it. I dont want to know all the fuctions they do.

Don't take my comments seriously. Didn't you see the self effacing humor in my 1st post? :) Peace.

For video editing, try to find Adobe Premeire. Adobe's products are of high quality and Adobe Premeire is one of the best video editing programs.

File:Acrobat Reader 5.1.exe -- You want the latest version of this. It's so you can view pdf files and have the features that the free one doesn't have.

File:Ad-aware 6.0.exe -- Must have. It helps remove spyware and adware crap from your computer.

File:Baldur's Gate God Mode.zip -- If you like to cheat and play Baldur's Gate, sure.

File:BoostXP.zip -- Probably some tweak program. Most of the tweaks dont give enough noticable performance boost to warrant using them though.

File:Cheat 'O Matic.zip -- Dunno what this is.

File:CSE Html Validator.exe -- Dunno what this is.

File:DBpowerAMP Music Converter.exe -- Dunno what this is.

File:DFX 6.1 for Windows Media Player + Keygen.exe -- Dunno what this is.

* File:DirectX 9.0.exe -- Must have. This is the latest version of DirectX and is required for newer games.

File:Diskeeper v.7 Full.exe -- Good app. It helps keep your harddrives defragged and stuff. I prefer Norton Systemworks though.

File:Easy Cleaner 1.7f.exe -- Dunno what this is.

File:Go Back 3 Deluxe.exe -- Don't bother unless you screw up your computer a lot and are constantly reformatting.

File:GoBack Update.exe -- Again, don't bother unless you screw up your computer a lot and are constantly reformatting.

File:hpotchamber.zip -- Dunno what this is.

* File:Internet Explorer 6 SP1.exe -- Must have. It updates Internet Explorer and fixes some security flaws and that

* If you use Windows Update often, you will already have these and will have no reason to download.

the good stuff in that list is free.

Ad-aware is a spyware removal tool. Download the free version here (http://download.com.com/redir?pid=10214379&merid=69274&mfgid=69274&edId=3&siteId=4&oId=3000-2144-10214379&ontId=2144&ltype=dl_dlnow&lop=btn&dlrs=1&destUrl=%2F3001-2144-10214379.html). Along with that I would highly recommend
downloading Spybot Search & Destroy, another spyware utility. Get it here (http://download.com.com/redir?pid=10194058&merid=104443&mfgid=104443&edId=3&siteId=4&oId=3000-2144-10194058&ontId=2144&ltype=dl_dlnow&lop=link&destUrl=%2F3001-2144-10194058.html)

Adobe Acrobat is, like ilw said, is for reading Adobe .pdf documents. It's really a must-have now...
If you don't need to write .pdf documents, only read them, go for the free Reader version.
I'd go for version 5.0.5, as 6 is still a bit buggy. It's here (http://download.com.com/redir?pid=8134654&merid=50607&mfgid=50607&edId=3&siteId=4&oId=3000-6675-8134654&ontId=6675&ltype=dl_dlnow&lop=link&destUrl=%2F3001-6675-8134654.html)

IE6sp1 is the latest version of Internet Explorer, as released by Microsoft. You can get it for free
by visiting the Windows Update site, located here (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp). Be sure to get all the
Critical Updates while you're there. And you can also get Direct X 9 while you're there.
It's basically just a graphics rendering runtime. Or you can get it seperately here (http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/a/4/9a48d736-586e-43c9-beee-f20c151e7feb/dxwebsetup.exe)

Also, as ilw said, you might want to look at VirtualDub and TMPGenc.
TMPGenc is a video conversion tool, and VirtualDub can do lots of other stuff for video files.
Get them here (http://tmpg.pegasys-inc.com/download_files/TMPGEnc-2.513.53.162-Free.zip) and here (http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/)
