I should've checked the link better. I meant <A HREF="http://www.clamwin.com/" REL="nofollow">ClamWin</A> (based on Clam AV). ClamWin appears to check everything, but it does no real-time scanning so you'd have to schedule scans.<BR/><BR/>I also didn't know Avira had a free version. I'd only ever seen their pay-for versions on other people's machines (often while I was trying to remove a virus for them :-P).Adam Heinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225813532455467868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-2758406398713045112009-03-23T14:31:00.000+07:002009-03-23T14:31:00.000+07:00I made the foss switch a couple years ago.

I think I switched because I ran into something it couldn't handle, though I can't remember what (split ZIP files? really large ZIP files?).<BR/><BR/>I failed to reinstall Eclipse after the Great Crash of '08, then when I started teaching Java to Andre he said he used NetBeans. I didn't care, just needed an IDE, and figured we should be using the same one. I'll admit, I haven't used either Eclipse or NetBeans thoroughly enough to know if one is better than the other. Both of them have all the nice features I used to love from IDEA (with the added feature of being free, of course).Adam Heinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225813532455467868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-22067215035602387292009-03-18T01:54:00.000+07:002009-03-18T01:54:00.000+07:00I've just (re)started some web page stuff &...I've just (re)started some web page stuff & use FileZilla & love it!<BR/><BR/>I'll add all your others to my list - especially the video editing program.<BR/><BR/>thanks for the list!<BR/>AndyUnknown Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145708211348755632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-51379573502124958622009-03-18T01:12:00.000+07:002009-03-18T01:12:00.000+07:00I am also a big fan of 7-Zip for file (de)compress...I am also a big fan of <A HREF="http://www.7-zip.org/" REL="nofollow">7-Zip</A> for file (de)compression. For text editing, I also prefer <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/" REL="nofollow">GNU Emacs</A>, version 22 (I don't think 23 is ready for prime-time yet). ;) Sorry, had to do it.<BR/> Why do you prefer Netbeans to Eclipse? I've not heard any reasons one way or another since I stopped using an IDE.<BR/>-MMattyDubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202037980573994507noreply@blogger.com
