Everybody should know about all this by now, but in case somebody still don’t.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (Final Release)
Microsoft Windows Defender (Final Release)

Mozilla Fondation FireFox 2.0 (Final Release)

In case you don’t like Windows Genue Advantage (WGA) which required to istall IE7 and Defender here is a small utility to bypass it.

I am going to try to summarize all software that I am using. Actually it is not going to be a list of all software that I have. Only some really useful stuff. I start with Firefox Extensions.

Adblock - Probably the most popular extension. You can remove any banner or any other annoying picture from web pages.
ForecastFox - Weather Forecast right in your browser.
FireFTP - Small simple FTP Client. It cannot compete with monsters like FlashFXP, but it fast and it is always here. So if just you need to upload/download file it is really useful.
TabMixPlus - That was the last reason why I have switched from my previous favorite browser GoSurf to Firefox. Tab manager which allows you to do anything with tabs.
FasterFox  - very quiet extension. Looks like it’s doing nothing, but it is improving your Firefox speed.
AI Roboform - Toolbar from AI Roboform. Great tool to make easy logins to password protected sites.
GreaseMonkey - Allows you to use your own java scripts to customize the way a webpage displays. Hundreds of scripts, for a wide variety of popular sites, are already available at http://userscripts.org.
Del.icio.us - You can submit any website you are viewing right now to Del.icio.us.

1. Tired of calculating Price + Shipping Price on eBay?

eBay - Display Totals with Shipping

Computes and displays the total price with shipping added. Makes a new column that shows the final price for both the BuyItNow and auction price added to the shipping prices.

Wishful thing: Same thing with ability to sort by This new Column.

2. For LiveJournal Users only.
