Zango search assistant! I fucking **** that.

Norton Antivirus, the lamest antivirus software

For me it is flash. Cuz most of the rest programs from the list are not necessary for using - if you do not like them, you can afford yourself not to use them. But fucking flash is on every single page, fucking ads, and all that **** makes me really mad! Of course I disabled flash and ads using firewall and some special software, but it is just impossible to use some sites without flash turned on.

I used to **** Adobe Reader as well, because I find PDF format stupid and the program itself was crazy large (about 150 mb as far as I remember). I am happy that I was able to fing a hundred times faster and smaller substitution for viewing pdf files (foxit reader).

you mean Windows Media Player, right?

 

[hiropro]

Yeah,sorry.It`s a sodding pain.Last time it updated itself and nearly buggered everything up.

 

[D-rock]

I'm going with Adobe, Java, and Flash. Windows has just sucked for a long time in general also.

Yahoo toolbar. That crap makes my web browser open up and load a page in as little as 10 minutes.

Active X controls- and lately I've clicked on a number of links here at Freeones where I've been taken to "porn tube" or some other place where suddenly I have pop up "warnings" (read- ads) and such. I had to end up scouring my system with a great program called "Spyhunter" to get rid of the "AntiSPyware Master" nonsense that popped up, and infested my machine from a link here the other day.

Beware AntiSpyware Master- it is a pain in the ass that is difficult to get rid of without good software.

I would have to say Java. I always have to download these updates for it, and the installation always stalls for a half hour before finishing. What is the point of a progress indicator if it goes from 0-50% in seconds, then stalls at 50% for a half hour?

 

[thapie]

flash , nortons is pretty sad as well

 

[pitino]

all kinds of adv toolbars...bliah!

 

[mongo18]

I always hated real player, and adobe used to be a nice little free utility but has now gotten just as bad. I'm against pre-installed software of any kind and believe that every computer should still be sold with the OS on a disk, none of this recovery partition crap that never really works anyway. If you can't install your software you shouldn't use it.

At least there's a nice freeware alternative to Adobe Reader - Foxit. Smaller footprint and faster to load.

Real Player: It's just fucking crap

Yahoo Toolbar: And any toolbars. Seriously, who is so retarded these days that they actually need a toolbar?

Norton AV: Had it for about a year, ran a virus check everyweek. Then my subscription was almost out so I got another AV... And guess what? I had loads of fucking viruses THE ENTIRE TIME. Norton failed to find any of them.
