    Hi,
    Dang didn't list all of them :/
    The list reads like the who is who of the free software world, as it includes Google Chrome, VLC Media Player, Firefox, Opera, Kaspersky TDSS Killer, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Skype, and Notepad++ to name just a few.

    IMO, the Categories should be used for Problems/Solutions (and update threads) but items like this should be in the News section.

    Does anyone know why the Security News sub-forum was removed?
