According to the Software & Information Industry, anti-virus McAfee VirusScan is the most pirated software on the Internet. Accuracy of importance, are considered as software members of the SIIA.

The association Software & Information Industry brings together professionals in industries software and digital content. Recently, the SIIA issued for the year 2007, two ratings applications most often pirated. For example, last year, is the anti-virus McAfee VirusScan, which was most often pirated on the Internet, while the corporate view, the choice was more pirates focused on his counterpart at Symantec.

Top 10 2007:

  • McAfee VirusScan
  • Symantec Norton Anti-Virus
  • McAfee Internet Security Suite
  • Intuit TurboTax
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Adobe Acrobat
  • Intuit Quicken Home and Business
  • Symantec Norton pcAnywhere
  • Symantec Norton Ghost
  • Adobe Creative Suite

Top 10 2007:

  • Symantec Norton Anti-Virus
  • Adobe Acrobat
  • Symantec PC Anywhere
  • Adobe PhotoShop
  • Autodesk AutoCAD
  • Adobe DreamWeaver
  • Roxio Easy CD / DVD Creator
  • Roxio Toast Titanium
  • Ipswitch WS_FTP
  • Nero Ultra Edition

Some surprises in these rankings as simply the fact that the software for data security trustier the top spot. Similarly, most “popular” Roxio compared to Nero is quite astonishing in the field of printmaking. But the most astounding is probably not see any products included Microsoft stamped. Because, if the list of members of the SIIA is fairly consistent, a prominent member in the person of the world’s leading software missing.

I have a quick question for the geeks/leet/un-noobish ppl here ;)

I'm in need of space. My XP SP2 got to 4 GB. Very unhealty since at it's start 1 yr ago was only 2.4 if i remember. I need my system as stable as possible - I don't want it crashing after I forgot 2 save my 2hrs work. I don't play games. I browse the net and Photoshop/Illustrate/Flash/Dreamweave/Indesign - even some Corel when I'm desperate or bored. Listen to some music, watch some movies. That would be almost it.

Now. Can I keep my windows small? I really need that space. Should I go read the nlite documentation and re-install XP in the Lite form? I'm very interested if it can free me some resources, but without loss of stability. Thx

why not just get a big fat honking 250 gig hard drive and partition it to your liking...ie have just the operating system on one partition then have partitions one for music, one for photos.... one for documents....

if it is crashing then what else are you running to cause that? i learn over a year ago before i got mob for iraq that outpost firewall was the cause of al lmy blue screens of death.

i read somewhere on this site that certain firewall and virus software from different companies are not stable either

I'd recommend nLite & vLite ,

I've never installed "Tiny XP" but I know that the "Micro" Server based install by experience can't take updates.

sure some versions of mod'd XP install disks may be ok but you never know what you're gonna get when you download someone else's work, and who knows if someone else mod'd their work?

I have a triple-boot linux/XP box with three virtual machines running XP that I use for testing stuff ( just a hobby to pass the time).

All together I use 5 different AV scanners to test stuff I've downloaded just to checkout, and weather or not it be "Tiny XP", "Black XP","XP Ultimate" or even some that claim to be untouched, & most of them contain malware.

& I'm not talking about the bundled keygens & crap they come with (although those get flagged also), I'm talking about stuff in the system files like .BAT files and little rootkits and trojans littered through all the install files.

If want it done right you gotta do it yourself (unless you know someone who can do it better)

How to guide? Man, seems like you haven't even tried the app, it's too freaking easy to use..! Just extract your iso to a folder, fire up nlite/vlite, select the folder where you just extracted xp/vista and rest is straightforward! you just select the components you don't want (& can include your own drivers/hotfixes if you wish)..

try it out & you'll find out it doesn't need a guide! ;)

ive been nliting my XP discs for about 2 years now, and strangely enough the job got easier when i switched to 64-bit XP. i like to avoid unexpected "surprises"...errors and such, so i put all the non-windows programs i use on a separate disc. fully nlited with all m drivers integrated, updates/hotfixes added, and components removed, my final disk is well under 400MB. install is fully unattended (i pop in the disk, choose the partition, and thats all i need to do), and only takes about 30 minutes.

if youre new to nlite/rvm-integrator, you should try spending some time on each program's forum.
