IDM works fine for me
though some prefer orbit downloader for there download managers
VLC is good But I use MPC-HC and KMPlayer and BSPlayer and Winamp and Songbird and Zoomplayer and Gomplayer and JetAudio and Kantaris and.. lol those are what I remember.. I'll have to log onto my Multimedia user account to check if I left any out :D
right now i'm logged into my Work User profile :P
For AntiVirus.. I prefer to use "Spyware Doctor with Antivirus" version of Spyware Doctor
plus a monthly or weekly ComboFix.exe checkup <<Dangerous software for non-advanced folk :)
But people also like to use heavy antivirus softwares so for them they can use AVAST or NOD32 or Even the New Kapresky or Microsoft Security essentials (I think that's the correct name) and for those advanced users they can use BitDefender.
Oh and I used to have VLC installed on my computer but after the format I didn't bother to re install it but instead searched for new ones and am using all of them XD
And now so as not to go off topic...
Photshop is a heavy program
one can also use Gimp or Snagit :happy:
atleast that's what I used to use when I went into that artsy phase ..
ah the time when I used to have a lot of free time <_<
