What is the best program/app you have installed?

...Paint Shop Pro 5.03...PSP ... from 1998 and I am always relieved when they fire up and work just fine.

I have to disagree with you on that one, I far prefer my Paint Shop Pro 7.04 (2000 vintage, last of the Jasc breed, and still working fine)

It must be this one:

I also really like or liked Zemana until it started not liking a few of my programs... still worked great but I did have to white-list a good deal of files... using Malewarebytes now but really thinking of going back to Zemana...

Oh, I'm positive that newer versions than mine are more capable.. but I couldn't resist getting PSP5 for just $5 in 2002.

I bet nobody has heard of ArcSoft’s PhotoStudio 2000. I got if free with a Canon scanner at the turn of the millennium and I’m still using it 20 years later.

I had that software, Does it still run in Win 10, 2004?

Thanks

There is no best program/app, but I'll list some of the apps I use and find them useful:

• Lightshot - free screenshot tool, which I find best among anthing I used before including new Windows 10 screenshot tool.
• Skype - this doesn't need introduction. I use it everyday for my work and for communicating with my spouse when at the office.
• Steam - most popular gaming platform on PC.
• Chrome browser with profiles (might consider switching to new Edge when Microsoft implements sync option, not because I'm not happy with Chrome, I am, I just wanna give a chance to Microsoft Edge).
• Bitwarden - open source and in my opinion best free password manager.
• Adblocker Ultimate - free adblocker. Been using this adblocker for years.
• 360 Total Security Essential - best free antivirus in my opinion.
• Plex - free home media server that allows me to play my movies and TV shows from my PC in my TV.
• Open Hardware Monitor - Very similar to HWmonitor but free version.
• OneNote for Windows 10 - hands down, best free notepad. It even features password protecting of your notepad sections.
• MusicBee - most customizable music player I have ever seen. It's a best player if you're meloman and like organizing your music files in your PC & it's free.
• Daum Pot Player - most customizable video player I have ever seen. It's free and without ads. It's dev is former creator of KM player.
• Google office - free cloud office from Google. Has everything that I need. Microsoft cloud office seems also nice, but didn't have to use it yet. Will stick to Google office.
• Google drive - this doesn't need introduction.
• Onedrive - I know it's silly to have this too while I'm already using GoogleDrive, but why not both? :)
• Soulseek - peer to peer sharing software, mostly for music. Been using it for years. It's best if you're looking for rare materials that can't find on the Internet.
• Qbittorrent - free, without ads torrent client.
• Netflix microsoft app version. I usually use Netflix in my TV, but it doesn't hurt to have this app in my PC too.
• Microsoft pre-built apps like calculator, mail client, calendar, news...
• PeaZip - free, open source archiver that looks a bit better than 7Zip.
• CPUz and GPUz - free utilities to check your CPU and GPU temperatures and some other related things.
• I also use app that gives you code for any color when you hover with your cursor, just don't remember it's name.
• Lingoes - best free dictionary I could find on the Internet.
