Free Programs that you should NOT DOWNLOAD, May leave you with more problems..to fix

If you're NOT asking to download anything, THEN DON"T. Don't think that "Hey, that program sounds cool, I should go ahead and download it".... Not a good idea

An exception that I will make here is that Macromedia Flash player is needed by some pages to display properly Keep in mind that every pop up like that should have a link explaining more about the company who you're downloading from. Java may also fall into this category

ANY "search toolbar" possibly with the exception of Google Toolbar
