[Rohdekill]

This is a useless topic. Anyone looking for a recommended software program will look for that subject line, I.E. firewall, antivirus, etc..

I got tired of scrolling through just 3 replies because of all the cr@p people have posted. Anyone else find this useless, or should I list my five machines at home and 6 at work with 2000+ programs I have and let you scroll through endless junk? I mean, I use notepad occassionally too- will anyone really find this an essential program to use?
