Best Free Utilities
Here's a link to The 46 Best-Ever Freeware Utilities. Chances are you already have and are using some of them, and that you will find others that you will add to your collection. It's just a bit of a shame to see how many of those in the Top 10 perform tasks that are currently considered so essential that a computer novice would probably expect that they would be built into the Operating System, not add-on utilities. Anti-Virus protection, Adware/SpyWare/ScumWare removal, Browser Protection, Firewall, Trojan Remover, Rootkit Removal, and Intrusion protection seem to me to be functionality that could (should?) be built into the OS. I'd sure rather see these features in my next Windows OS than some of the other stuff Microsoft is working on for Longhorn. Why should I have to spend so much time installing/running/maintaining all these utilities that, in today's world, are required in order to turn my computer on and run it successfully. Maybe it's just me…

The same crowd that protests IE's and MP's being part of, or shipped with the OS, might have another opinion. Funny I don't hear a peep about Apple's doing that.

Yes, that's why I deliberatly left IE and MP out of the list -- I can see a valid argument for them NOT being part of the OS, but fundamental protection... yes.
