NoScript

Version: 1.1.4.1

If you need all the extra security you can get your hands on, GET THIS

Pros: Lets face it: First came viruses, than hacking, then spyware, and now many threats are transmitted through Javascript. NoScript is an extension that won't take away from the fast browsing or functionality of Firefox, and after a week of whitelisting your favourite sites, you are protected and don't even notice that it's there. Great extension.

Cons: I wish that instead of a whitelist that there was a blacklist! Secondly, the extension automatically installs several websites into the "Allowed" list, all of which I removed and only later I again allowed some of them. Other than that, great stuff. Haven't had any malware on my PC since installing Firefox, AVG, and NoScript (before I had IE/Netscape and Norton AV).

Swedish Touring Car Championship 2 demo

Pretty cool game

Pros: Graphics are nice; plays ok on most systems; all kinds of races besides ones that actually amount to something (i.e. Heats, qulifying, racing for the pole).

Cons: Terrible speedometer, menus look small and fuzzy, engine sounds the same in every gear, and the car is really hard to control. This may be due to the use of a keyboard, or if anyone likes sims this might be good. Demo is VERY limited. Not something that'll keep you interested for too long.

TrackMania demo

Cool game that'll keep you entertained for hours

Pros: Hard to believe this is a demo, it has plenty of features. Smooth gameplay, and a cool car round out this almost-full featured game.

Cons: Are there any opponents, or cars, or anything? The menus are slow, but it's really still a good game to play.

Adobe Reader

Version: 7.0.8

Adobe is still the king of PDF

Pros: Clean interface; easy to use; well-integrated with the web; works right; depending on who you are this is better than FoxIt; multi-language support; if you have a modern system the fatnesss of this thing shouldn't bother you

Cons: Gets heavier with every update; a little intrusive; installs several startup programs/services, and backround programs which you'll probably want to get rid off using MSCONFIG

AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 98/ME

Version: 5.9.369

Great IM Porgram

Pros: I'm not an AOL user (is anyone these days?) but although AIM is not the most feature-packed IM, it is light on resources, offers some customization, features buddy-linking, plenty of customizable away messages, and you can get free smilies, sounds, and icons: you don't have to pay for them - just download a free theme, and remove the icon (this is the part that forces the theme to your IM) and get some other free icon; e-mail alert feature; Norton offers IM protection; and hey, I just love that stock ticker :) In short, AIM is just a great and S I M P L E IM client.

Cons: It comes bundled with the regular array of AOL/AOD crapware; viruses can be easily spread from buddy to buddy; and I'm not that crazy about the DirectIM feature.
