Alternative to RealPlayer
Certain programs are on my list of the most annoying. RealPlayer has been on the list for a long time. It puts stuff all over your computer and makes it hard to get rid of things like its entry in the Notification area (or System Tray, as it used to be called). Nonetheless, I have had RealPlayer on my system because some types of files could be viewed no other way. For example, Windows Media Player cannot play RealMedia files. However, these days there is a free alternative and it is available at PC World downloads.
