Thanks for this, the OP's post was so chaotic this made it nice and clear.

No problem I like things organized and simple, instead of all over the place and having a paragraph explaining it

Not really a program you as an individual can just start up and it'll instantly do its thing. Unlike all other programs, Mumble is a collective application - requiring a pre-determined structure/environment to be useful.

You mean it requires a server, just like Ventrilo. I have Murmur (mumble's server-side component) running on my webserver, personally.

Might be worth mentioning:
http://connect.microsoft.com/systemsweeper

[quote]beta version of Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta, a recovery tool that can help you start an infected PC and perform an offline scan to help identify and remove rootkits and other advanced malware. In addition, Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta can be used if you cannot install or start an antivirus solution on your PC, or if the installed solution can’t detect or remove malware on your PC.[/quote]

I just use a portable version of Malware Bytes works good for offline scanning

Was thinking the other day, about the software I find most useful other than the usual every day stuff, movie players converters and stuff.

I find two, useful

Teamviewer - http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx

So I don't have to go friends houses for some 5 minute thing they having difficulty with on pc. I also use it to control my crappy pc thats used as an FTP, ts and vent server. They also have versions, you don't have to install and they overcome the difficulty with routers experienced with other VNC programs.

Dropbox http://www.dropbox.com, I find this program, well virtual/web storage space really useful to keeping files available, to sharing files with guildies like boss screenies, boss kill videos and such and I tried not to but I couldn't resist, if you signup with my refer link(http://db.tt/OMZgbdn), we both get an extra 250MB.

Sorry if these have been mentioned before!

Sticky index is your friend.

"bump" for adding Clonezilla. If anyone has to replace a hard drive in a computer and doesn't want to reformat for some reason, this would be a viable option. could also be used to make a full backup to store somewhere. it's an open source recreation of Norton Ghost

Possibly make a note not to use it when cloning TO an SSD. Going from is fine, but last I checked it didn't do proper alignment when moving partitions onto an SSD.

I'd like to recommend to the mod developers a free bug & issue tracker, it's web-based.
May be a bit complicated for starters, but it's powerful.

A program I use a lot at work is Daemon Tools Lite for mounting .iso images. It also comes with a free download to Astroburn Lite for burning the images.
