Strange I don't have any problems with Java hogging the system, I agree with Tricky regarding Open Office, couldn't live without it myself.

It could just be that I have a really old system (P3) and 384 mg of RAM, so I notice every little bit of resource use. As it is, if I don't want a complete slide show when playing Morrowind, I need to turn off all my scanners.
Speaking of scanners, I have another entry here:
Tenebril Spy Catcher
It is one of the more powerful freebee anti spyware programmes, and even includes real time protection. It's relatively easy on resources too.
A note of caution though, it can be overly agressive, and I highly recommend checking out everything it flags prior to any removal.
It should also be turned off before downloading any other software updates.
Nonetheless, it did nab a nasty trojan (Media Motor) that none of my other scanners picked up, and I've noticed a distinct performance improvement since squashing the damned thing.
