It is surprising how many 90s tools remain popular today: WinZip, WinRar, WinAmp, CCleaner, Icq, Real Player, etc.
People just get into using something and simply never stop. Then there's the comfort barrier to switching (e.g. I know how to use WinZip but 7Zip is new and unfamiliar).
CCleaner is still popular with low level tech support types, which is quite ironic as it damages the Windows Registry on later versions of the OS. There is also built in tools (Disk Cleaner, Recycling Bin maximum size, auto-Defrag/Trim, etc) which accomplish most of the same things.
Teachers use Real Player. Several nationalities (Russia?) use ICQ.
