So does my brother - there's now quite a few spyware for the mac in the wild. In fact, I read a report recently on a mac bot-net just discovered.

Did you read Google Chromes privacy statement thinger?
If you upload anything through it, it belongs to google. Any picture, movie whatever.

Didn't they change that shortly after folk discovered it? I read some stories months ago on that very problem and then within a week or so Google changed the privacy statement - unless they've changed it back...which wouldn't really surprise me either =)

Internet: Opera, Firefox, Lynx, Iexplorer (rarely used). If I can get my hands on Jaws, I will try it.
Music: Winamp
Chat: Pidgin
Images: Photoshop
Torrents: µTorrent or Opera Browser
Firewall/Anti-spyware: Trend Micro
CD/DVD Burning: Nero Burning Rom. There are others, but that's my main.

Don't use torrents much actually.

- Internet; Firefox
- Music; Winamp (looking for something with an album cover interface that isn't itunes... anyone know of one?)
- Chat: MSN Live.. is ICQ still around?
- Images; ACDsee Pro 3
- Torrents; uTorrent... gotta love a Windows program that does all that and is less than a megabyte.
- Firewall/Anti-spyware: Don't bother with either.
- CD/DVD burning; Used to use Nero but couldn't find a reliable free copy... ended up with a free one found on google.

For movies and video files I've ended up using VLC... used to use K-Lite but run into some strange problems with fullscreen so I switched... WMP wants me to validate so thats out. lol

What other useful stuff are people using?
