Must-have apps in the System tray?

I thought my pc was a bit sluggish today, so i decided to clear out some of the apps running in the background & start a topic on this... What are the indispensible tools you have running in the system-tray all the time?

let's see, I have (from left to right):
Gmail notifier, FreeDownload Manager, USB Drive thingy, AVG, AllChars, F&RR, WinWarden, AHK, CLCL (clipboard manager), Windows Security Alert (i'd like to get rid of this, but can't...), KatMouse, RtvReco, HP Printer Software and finally Tclock2.



ok, that's all. I hope to find some other useful systray tools from fellow donationcoders... ;-)

Veign:
Why can't you get rid of the MS security alert?

There is an option that lets you control what MS will alert you about:
Control Panel -> Security Center -> Resources (left side) -> Change the way Security Center Alerts me

Does that remove it for you?

I killed the Gmail notifier, I'm getting so many emails that it was becoming a bit annoying. I'm also using the Free Download Manager (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1801.0) but I'm not running it 24/7, only on demand. And I let AutoHotkey (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1167.0) kill it if I forget to do that :)

I can also recommend skrommel's IdleMute (https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/) and a clipboard manager (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=501.0), I'm using ClipX right now.

Oh yeah, and of course I'm running the famous Miranda (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1201.0) 24/7 to enjoy some nice discussions in DonationCoder's IRC channel etc. (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=772.0).
