Hey guys...

I would just like to ask about good software that are good to have...

Like just know I just heard about the zip program that can zip big files to smaller files.. 5GB+ to < 1.3GB something like that

So I would like to know about other programs... like anything that is good to have... if you don't mind, can you please discribe the sofeware that you're promoting

Thanks

VLC - A great media player, plays all formats.
Microsoft Security Essentials - Good & free anti virus.
Avira - (same as above)
Win RAR - A zipping type tool that most zipped items come in.
Virtual CloneDrive - Great for mounting any ISO's you ahve

On a P4 3ghz PC you aren't going to be compressing 5gb to anything.

How can you ask us about software but not tell us what this "zip program" is??

The app is called UHARC. was in some threat earlier. but that doesnt work for me though

Ok thanks to you and blogbytes, there's also something called KGB archiver or something that's alleged to have amazing compression ratios, but afaik it's not really as effective as people claim.
