There are a lot of extremely large, bloated programs that cost a lot of money, and many of you probably own some of this software. Here's a list of alternative programs & utilities. All of the following programs have been tested by me, as well as several friends, and are completely safe.
• Iceows: Another lightweight alternative to WinRAR, and uses the explorer shell, much like WinRAR. (Walridge3)
• InfraRecorder:It replaces nero hands down. It's fast, free, and above all, It's under 3MB to download. It makes Nero users feel right at home.
• 7-Zip Archiver: It replaces all other archiving software, and supports most archive formats from ACE to ZIP. It's a smaller, and more lightweight replacement for WinRAR and WinZip
• Foxit PDF Reader: Because adobe pdf reader is for noobs (excuse my language).
• Foobar2000: A minimalistic media player that has built-in support for common and some rare audio formats. Very resource friendly.
• OpenOffice: A free alternative to Microsoft Office. Comes with Microsoft Office file format support AND, is about 3/4 smaller than Microsoft Office 2007.
• Paint.NET: A fairly small Microsoft Paint replacement. It is powerful enough to even do some things that Photoshop can do. It is rather versatile.
• Mumble: A low latency audio chat server/client application. It provides superb audio quality over Skype and Ventrillo.
• uTorrent: One of the most popular Bit torrent clients out there. Amazingly small and works like a charm.
• Mozilla FireFox: Most of you use and love this browser, so I won't say much about it.
• Mozilla Thunderbird: Because Outlook Express is a major security risk!
• GOM Player: With this multimedia application, you don't need any codec packs that cause conflicts with each other.
• VLC: If GOM Player isn't your thing.
• AbiWord: An opensource word application. Does the trick for little school essays and small assignments for class.
