Siders77 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hey guys, I have recently bought a new computer for my bedroom (:P) and I should be getting the internet on it soon. All I was wondering is what software should I have on it. It will be used for browsing the internet and downloading songs/videos. I think I might have Mozilla Firefox for the Internet but i'm really not sure on what else to have! Any help will be appreciated! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Firefox (free) Adaware (free) Spybot Search & Destroy (free) OpenOffice (openoffice.org) (free) Textpad (free unlimited trial) Photoshop (free for 30 days?) Thunderbird (free) ... sorted :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikenipple Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 When you say 'for downloading songs/videos' it all depends on whether you mean legally or not :D" If you want any music/videos that aren't strictly legal (unless you own the music/videos on legal medium) then get BitTorrent, if you want completely legal music, then obviously get one of the many Pay-Download services that are available :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to say. I will be downloading trials videos. Thanks for the list Tom! I think i'll get Limewire to download music. Ummmm, this may be a silly question, but if I get adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy would I need to get Norton or something like it too? Oh and another question, is www.download.com the best place to get it all from? Cheers! :P EDIT: Can you explain what Thunderbird is please?

Tomm Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 EDIT: Can you explain what Thunderbird is please? ← It's an email client made by the Mozilla foundation (who make Firefox). It's basically like Outlook Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
