hypercam is one, but it puts a small banner on your video

I think a good addition would be ALZip. It's a Zip tool with many different compression choices.

Camstudio is another, its like hypercam except without the banner and other goodies. Both are free with no better one to pay for.

But why didn't you put Microsoft Messenger, AOL Instant messenger, etc? (Just for variety)
And it would be nice to have a section (or in messaging) that shows online phones, like Skype.

I suggest adding Miranda to the messaging client list.
It's lightweight, free, and...

Hold on, let me emphasize that.

It's lightweight—something that's pretty **** unprecedented in a world of buddy icons, graphical smilies, and why-would-anyone-ever-want-these "features"—, free, highly customizable, works with all the regular players (AIM, MSN, etc.), and has numerous amounts of plugins—even some that are actually useful, like automatic message encryption. Open source, too, under GPL.


Also Notepad2.

You should add ventrilo to the list, because of how popular it is in many games and how useful and good it is.

it should be in ventrilo.com or just google ventrilo to find the info you need.

DL'd notepad++. I was already using a ton of these, so it's good to know I'm using the right programs. =)

To add to your list of anti spyware. Malwarebyte's anti malware is a good program, you can go pro, but it's not worth it, you only get real time protection.

Superantispyware is free too, it's just as good but doesn't quarantine until the end of the scan

Also add "Media Player Classic" to the list of audio downloads. One of the best media player's I've ever used. EVER!

It's a hidden gem among the Combined Community Codec Pack. Which is a free download.

Posting two programs

I would like to post two programs. Since Oracle and The Document Foundation are no longer supporting Openoffice, Apache has acquired it. Openoffice will now be called Apache Openoffice.

However, The Document Foundation is now developing Libreoffice, which is the same as OpenOffice. (http://www.libreoffice.org)

Another program I would like to post is a free game called StepMania (www.stepmania.com). This game is based on the Dance Dance Revolution game series.
