i only use good software, all the above are installed and run on almost a daily basis except malwarebytes

i have a few more apps i got free, but they arent normally free, i just get them with hardware bundles(like Nero DVD/CD Burning software for example comes with walmart Lite-On DVD+R drives), actually i don't think i've ever payed for any software aside from games, lol just freeware and trials :supz:
