Cyberlink Power Producer. That stupid program freezes whenever I try to do anything.
Creative X-FI soundcard drivers.

Windows Live Messenger, Games for Windows Live, Gamersfirst LIVE.
ATI Catalyst Control Center. Especially the latest update. Why is overscan/underscan adjustment no longer in the program again?

If by "old computer" you mean "computer from the Pentium 3 era" then that might be the problem.
EA Origin.
iTunes
Uninstalled ever since I got an android device
QuickTime, everything uses the fucking .mov codec which sucks balls, and it wants to update every 3 minutes.
And I have to read the terms and conditions every time so I don't get turned into a human centipede.

windows RAR, why not just use 7zip or something, it's free
winantivirus or any generic vundo
Those dang printer software things! Just give me the driver files, I do not need a whole suite of bloat
I remember trying the GameSpot Downloaded some odd years ago. I only used it once, but it was intrusive and annoying.
AVG. The fucker was deleting system32 files once so I had to reformat.
Also, this EA Origin bullshit is pretty bad.
Those little smileys in exchange for my email and name.
Gameranger, never works for me.

WinRAR isn't bad at all. It does its job and does it well. And it is free, the trial never runs out.
