I would definitely throw into the AV section Microsoft’s Security Essentials. Its free and its actually a very good AV. I know the joke about Microsoft and their on AV couldn’t catch a cold but that isnt the case anymore.
No Eclipse? Gotta add eclipse and fireFTP
Eclipse isn’t an application though…it’s more of a collection of apps for developers. I will add fireFTP though…good call on that one.
I’m really impressed with Driver Max… Thanks for the suggestions, Tom.
For the Mac, there is Sophos anti-virus home addition (free) and ClamxAv (free) and iAntivirus. (also free)
I have uses all three and currently, like the Sophos program the best. It is best upon a commercial pay program and seem to have a more sophisticated base code.
