You've got this upside down, btw.

If you have Safari, why do you run FF?

Now you're just trying to make him stroke out.

Safari works better on mac systems and ff works better on PC.

I still use FF on my mac tho.

 

[Conchaga]

BTW, know where I can find a decent copy of leopard?

Here's my desktop. It keeps insisting that I pirated this copy of Windows even though I was a proper lad and purchased it legally! Consequently, I'm not allowed to set a real background.

You also have a lot of bulky memory-stealing programs.

Ditch Limewire in favor of uTorrent or Vuze.

AVG + Hijack This + Ad Aware + Spybot Search + recovery disk creator = too much
Most internet providers give away free antivirus software (eg Comcast gives away Norton Security Suite). Try getting a good antivirus from them. If not, torrent and crack a good Norton or Kaspersky product. They all do the functions of the five you've got running. Also, if you replace the crappy p2p Limewire in favor of a good torrent program, you can screen comments of things before you download them. Thus removing the need for a lot of bulky antivirus software.

Quicktime on Windows is like tying a ton of bricks to a sportscar. Get VLC and be done with it.

Foxit > Adobe

If you run FF why did you keep Safari?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CLEAN UP YOUR SYSTEM TRAY! IT LOOKS HORRIBLE!
Start by updating your damn Java! All those icons down there make my OCD go into overdrive.

What's the festival? I assume there's a lot of E floating around.

See, this is the kind of post that puts people off "post your desktop" thread.

I can't even contribute to this tread.

Dual, you could try re-installing 7 over itself. That's what I had to do to get it to accept the registration code on mine.

On the contrary, I like happening upon these helpful tips. Even though in this case I kind of knew most of them already.

funny enough, my reaction to tiff's desktop was, "wow, she's playing it safe when it comes to malware."

and conchaga, kapernski totally failed for about seven of my customers when the "Internet Security 2010" virus came around. i usually recommend avira and malwarebytes as the one-two punch of choice.

Remind me to send you some more badass god-like walls.

Ish: I only recommend kaspersky because it's easy and mainstream. Also, I use norton exclusively. Therefore, I don't really know much about alternate AV progs.

Wacky: I didn't mean to sound like a dick. Her desktop image is pretty sweet. I was just tryin to give some friendly advice. If I were being a dick, I'd've called her names.

Ill bet her room matches her desktop tho.

My roommate is the exact opposite. Messy desktop, immaculate room.

But....Norton is the worst system hog of them all.

 

[Ishcabittle]

as far as i can tell, Norton can suck mah bawls. if i ever met that guy on the street, i'd punch those stupid glasses right off his face. even if that dude on the box was just some nerd they hired to be on the box, he'd get the shit kicked out of him.

but yeah, norton = big memory footprint. for not that much more protection. norton internet security (back in the day, anyway) was known to keep people from browsing at all if their settings got effed enough.

If you know what you're doing you don't actually need any active anti antivirus programs on your PC.
