looking for some pc programs

[jedahsavior]

im looking for what people would call the best media player around, the best spyware cleaner, and the best file sharing program ive tried emule, ive tried winmx, and i have Shareaza and kazaa lite now so any help would be great

[GundamGuy]

Media Player... WinAMP

Spyware cleaner AdAware..and Spybot Seach and Destroy.

[TechKnow]

Spyware Remover:
Spybot Search & Destroy

Adware

Media Player:

Winamp

BS Player

And IMO eMule is the best p2p program.

[Megalith]

Best media player: Windows Media Player is enough to play most video and audio files, and so is Winamp5.
Best spyware cleaner: Spybot Search and Destroy.
Sharing program: Direct Connect is the best network in my opinion. It doesn't have any of those pesky leechers.

.. Yeah, that's about it.

While it's all subjective on which program is the "best" depending on your preference, some programs I use are as follows:
BSPlayer - movie player that uses little system resources
WinAMP - music player that has plenty of features and plugins (can also play movies)
Ad-aware SE Pro - spyware cleaner
DC++ and an older build of Imesh - file sharing

[GundamGuy]

Oh dang forgot the Sharing program...

IRC is the best, or Bittorent... for shareing your files. OR FTP...

But if your asking about stuff like your run of the mill P2P... IMESH...or Kazaa + the Diet Kazaa add on...

[mushindo]

lol I have no idea why I forgot about BitTorrent I prefer it over everything else

[Isostealer]

Everybody has laready taken all the good ones...
Media Player - Winamp Classic (winamp 5 for movies)
Spyware Cleaner - Spybot and Ad-Aware. Be sure to check out the sticky to help you out
p2p - BitTorrent, no question. You'll get the fastest speeds and everything starts a lot faster. Generally better than any other p2p application, IMO. All you need is to find a good tracker site(s), which unfortuantely can't be mentioned due to some of their content (warez).

thanks everyone for your help it helps me alot

[Norgus]

For video players you should also try <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/">videolan client</a> and certainly <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358">med ia player classic</a> (not to be confused with that shitty microsoft media player).

Winamp really is your best bet for audio (and basic video needs).
<a href="http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/">Ad-Aware</a> Is a very nice adware/spyware remover, though alot of people seem to also quite like spybot search and destroy.

[Vash Van Gogh]

Don't forget limewire for the p2p programs. IMO it's not as good as kazaalite but it's the second best.

[jedahsavior]

does anyone know of any free or trial software that will let me block my ip adress

[Lord Riff Raff]

A firewall or a proxy? I think you mean a firewall so try zonealarm [ www.zonelabs.com/ ]

[jedahsavior]

a prozy too if anyone knows of one

[polobunny]

I can't reall find a proxy for you since I do't know where you are (then I can't ping every proxy from your location) (because you prolly want a fast proxy).

Media Player - Media Player Classic
Spy Sweeper - Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy
P2P or such - BitTorrent, eMule (alot of things in there)
