Gaming Recommend me cool/useful software or apps

[FireEmblemGuy]

I got a new laptop for Christmas, and I'm still getting all the stuff I want set up. I've already configured my internet, browser, Bluetooth(settings, stack, and dongle), codecs, and media players, as well as my antivirus. I've also got a few lower-end games like Halo, BZFlag, and GTA:San Andreas set up, since I only have integrated graphics. Does anyone have any interesting or particularly useful software to install while I'm at it? Maybe Vista Gadget things?

As an aside, I'm using dial-up internet; while I can obtain large files fairly easily, I'd like to steer clear of internet-heavy apps, except LimeWire and uTorrent.

Tune up Utilities is pretty good, but you have to pay for it

You can get themes, and clear caches and other stuff thats useful

I've been using LimeWire for years and never have gotten a virus. You just gotta be careful of what you click and download. If it has a strange name, generally its a virus. Apart from that, you can't beat LW if you want single MP3 tracks.

Don't dismiss this great app, it's awesome if used correctly and wisely. And use a decent AV, please.

I've been using Limewire for a year and a half, and I've never had a problem, even on computers with virtually nonexistent antivirus. I've been fine with Limewire, uTorrent, and avast! for as long as I can remember.
