Cool programs ya'll have

Kinda like on my iPhone,im interested in cool apps yall have on your lappy that you cant live without LoL

Since I am a firefighter and am anticipating getting a vehicle mount, i have...
Wiser for windows
the NIOSH Pocket Guide
ERG 2008
CHRIS manual
all HazMat programs above.

for navigation i have streets and maps, and from threads i found on here i have also downloaded:
Simple GPS
Fizzy Calc
BS GPS
Road Nav

havent used BS or road nav yet since i dont have a gps antenna YET.

Master Converter is also a favorite

 

I use Terrago addon for adobe. it allows you to use free usgs topo maps with GPS.

 

Opera, I don't like IE.
Stellarium, star charting program
Streets and Trips
Kindle for PC
Image Burn and Lightscribe

 

I have my CF-30 loaded with Centrafuse 1.47 and for Navigation I'm using the iGuidance 4. Also, Skype as my Camera VoIP, XMicroPlayer to listen to my XM Radio, and eFax to my email. All integrated to my Centrafuse 1.47

Blast!

 

I use chrome, use to have firefox but i fell in love with chrome

stellarium looks cool!

 

It is a very good program and it is fun to take the computer outside and use it to stargaze.

 

Here is some of the free stuff i use.

open office- for documents and stuff
7-zip-zip files

Google Chrome- browser

Google Earth- for googling the earth

SeaClear for marine navigation

Google Voice- for phone calls

M$ Street and Trips- Road Naigation

M$ Security essentials -for Virus protection

Malware bytes- for virus removal

Filezilla- FTP client

NASA WorldWind - NASA World Wind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it is like google earth pro but free with a few more features

Flash Earth - Zoom into satellite and aerial imagery of the Earth in Flash is another good one that combines a bunch of sattelite and aerial imagery.

DVD shrink and Pineapple for dvd editing

 

Adblock plus
(I recommend Fanboy's filter list.)
Adblock plus Elements

These are Firefox add ons that block ads. Plus the Elements will block ANY specific item from any web page. The categories mouseover drop down menu on Ebay drives me nuts. With this I was able to block that specific item.

 

Battery bar. It is a simple program that lets you monitor how much time is left on the battery and sits on the lower toolbar at all times.

 

Avast! free antivirus
Syncback backup.
I am also a chrome convert. I never really cared for Mozzilla/Firefox but chrome is pretty slick.

 

Stellarium runs terribly slow on my CF-29... any tips on how to speed it up? It's using 100% CPU and only getting 1FPS even in no OpenGL mode...

 

Has anybody check this link out....cool
http://forum.notebookreview.com/win...-ever-growing-free-windows-software-list.html

 

I recommend 2 bits of free software from *GULP* Micro$oft.

1) The Malicious Software Removal Tool:

Malicious Software Removal Tool | Protect Your Computer

They update it regularly, it works, and it's free. Good to see M$ finally stepping up to the plate on this one; it's about time.

Also note the link on this page to their online malware scanner; it can save yer arse in the field if you find you suddenly can't use an optical drive to load your favorite "Big Guns" disc...

2) Microsoft Security Essentials:

http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

It works, it's free, and it runs lean & mean for a real-time scanner; I heartily recommend it for anyone using a native Win7 PC. Users with XP or upgrading to Win7 may not have enough horsepower to run ANY real-time protection; you have to try it to see.

So... there you have it. a free internet prophylactic and a free day-after-pill that work; BOTH from M$.

Why are you putting on rubber gloves?

 

looks like a list of fun. Anyone have a good antivirus that is W7 64 frendly? It doesn't like avast or avg from cnet.

 

I runs fine on my CF-28, between 12 and 13 FPS, but I am using an SSD in my computer, before I switched from a 7200 RPM Hitachi it was very slow and probably ran at about 1 to 2 frames per second.

I am also running Microsoft Plus and with the SSD I have, the 3D screen savers run very well.

 

As the Dwagon suggests:

I use it on XP, Vista, and Win7 with no problems.

I personally use Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus, but it doesn't say whether or not it supports 64-Bit Windslows Seventh Effort.

However, their Avira AntiVir Premium version says it does. :yes:

 

Ditto on this, I run both with no problems.

 

I got it figured out last night Now I'm running around 25-35FPS.

I replaced the drivers for my CF-29 graphics card with the ones from the Intel site. They support OpenGL whereas the drivers that come with Windows XP don't support OpenGL. I guess I just had the Windows set of drivers.

 

Great, I am glad you got it figured out.

 

It almost thirteen hours for this to completely check my Ḍεll home desktop.

 

I don't have much to contribute,but

In over a year I have not used any anitvirus on my Cf-19 running W7

Two months ago my msn was hacked, all people on my contact list were spammed !!
I think It happened when I clicked an invite link from an unknown (untrusted) person

Scratch off one hotmail account, and about a handful of friends on my contact list including Toughbook and Teo






mnem....To do list
Got to read up on this thing called Conficker


Alex

 

Ya can't blame the program cuz y'all got 1.3 TB of llama pr0n on yer HDD. :wink:

Seriously... I was talking about the real-time scanning aspect; not the file scanning aspect. They ALL RUN SLOW if you've got a full HDD; ESPECIALLY if you've got a really big drive on an older machine.

AV-licious.

 

It is awfully hard to clean a sinus diverted soft drink off of your computer screen when you are rolling on the floor laughing.........

 

Yeah the 320 take a while and Good Luck if you try that CCleaner wipe free space 35 passes option. Leave it plugged in, turn off the sleep cycles, and go to work pretty much.
