Chatting: Trillion/ Msn Messenger
Internet: Avant Browser/ Netscape

AIM is also a free chat program! (MSN is better tho IMO)
Also Ad-Aware and Spybot are also incredibly useful and free apps.

IM : If ur using more then one IM service then you better use Trillian, indeed

Browsers : Opera is my first choice

Launchbar : Objectdock ( very good tool ) download at www.objectdock.com (http://www.objectdock.com) , its free ;)

Anti virus AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php) free is for me!

[SALvation]

Google Toolbar.

It blocks popups, give quick google search capability, and is not spyware.

[BobtheCkroach]

My vote for music is ITunes, but Pure is SO right - AVG is the bomb!

i used to have Weatherbug, but I got so tired of the pop-ups. So now I just made a link in my browser to Weather.com and it provides me with all I need to know without having to run a seperate program. :thumbs:
