I agree zone alarm is very over rated but i disagree with ad-aware. It works just as well as spybot search and destroy. Maybe back with version 5 it coudlnt compare but since 6 it does a damn good job. Also everyone at this board seems to favor sygate so I do not think it is underrated.

Windows Media Player is overrated. It is simply POS.

I know where that is from actually. I do not have exact link but that is from this asians kid site. You go onto his site and you ask him to make a face for certain something. I spent like an hour one day on there looking at all his expressions. He is really good and some are damn funny.

Hehe, I mean especially their sports games.
Sure, Fifa always looks cool for the first hour or so, then you get the hang of where to shoot from.
