Sandboxie (not necessary , you have your AVs, Rollback RX and Shadow Defender that negate any infections after a reboot)

Utilities/system tools
WinRAR (7zip do it better)


Cleanup/defrag
Revo Uninstaller (i prefer Iobit Uninstaller)

Office/dictionary/editing/viewing
PDF24 Creator
SumatraPDF
(both can be replaced by Nitro Reader, it can creste pdf too)

Virtual drivers
DAEMON Tools (i prefer Magic Disc)

I use many of your softs too.

Planning to uninstall SD because I don't use it that much. I like Sandboxie for the fact that I do not have to restart.

I like the WinRAR GUI better!

For some reason, I like Revo.

Nitro is commercial. Sumatra is light and PDF24 is pretty cool, too.

Planning to uninstall DT.

Thanks, man!

EDIT: Updated

Really nice set up. I use a lot of the same software.

Virtual drivers
Ever try Virtual CloneDrive? It's free and light on your system. Been using it for years. Prior to that I did use DAEMON Tools.

Question for you, how do you like Rollback RX? Would it be worth the buy?

 

[McLovin]

Browser
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome

Now when it comes to browsers I say their good, but if your on a 64-bit machine I would go for Waterfox instead. Much more smooth running.

Just like DiabloBlack said Virtual Clone drive is a really great free program. very light as well.

I shall check it out. Uninstalling Daemon Tools right now!

Yes! Rollback RX is awesome, it has saved my life twice.

Although, I just had a super huge issue. Not Rollback RX's fault. Hitman Pro detected it as a bootkit and like a newb, I 'replaced' the MBR trying to 'fix it' and lost 6 days worth of computer days. I went back in a Time Machine! So, just keep that in mind.

I use Chrome mostly. I was the biggest Firefox fanboy but they started lagging behind IMHO.

Try Peazip for an alternative. Here is what I found about it http://geekytrix.com/Thread-Best-free-alternative-to-WinZIP-and-WinRAR-Peazip

That looks good, I'll replace WinRAR with that. Thanks!

 

[malbky]

No probs. Essentially WinRAR does not have .tar compression or anything. Peazip is awesome. Also take note of the no candy switch which I told in the article.

Fantastic, I might go download the trial and give it a spin

everything is pretty solid....you can use Freemake video converter for converting videos and Nitro PDF reader as a pdf reader it has lot of features too...Haozip instead of winrar, it supports lot of formats and has almost similar GUI of winrar....

 

[Spirit]

If i should have uninstaller I should have revo only,its free version is better compare to many pro version and revo pro is gem itself.

 

[Deleted member 178]

With Nitro Reader (not Nitro Pro) you can read and create pdf for free.

 

[Ink]

Umbra, Microsoft Office and Chrome can both create PDFs.

 

[Deleted member 178]

lol thanks. i was so used to use Nitro, i never look at that ^^

since Win8 had a built-in Reader i can remove it ^^

 

[madyrocksin]

seems all good to me

 

[Ink]

I like the WinRAR GUI better!

Install over the top for updated 7-zip icons (a MUST):

Looks good

I like Winrar but use 7zip right now

I have used Revo Uninstaller Free and Pro Version but I recently decided to give Iobit Uninstaller a try and like it very much.I am still a Revo fan though

try to uninstall with iobit and revo the same program and you will find 20-30% more registry & leftover item in revo then iobit

Which one is better for W8 x64 Bits Peazip and/or 7 Zip? Also, does Waterfox 4 x64 Bits have add ons? And I thought that Opera is the most secure? Confuse! From the different posts on variouses topics? Many many thanks!
Straighten me out the above? Please! :huh:
