Because I'm going to be buying a new computer sooner or later, I decided to ask you guys what programs you think that I, and anyone else really, should get.
So far all I know is Windows 7

Tezuni:
Anti-virus first.
I recommend Norton Internet Security, I've never gotten a virus with it protecting my computer, and I download just about everything from torrents to random applications.
Be careful - you don't want unnecessary programs eating away at your CPU in the background even if they are safe.

Research is critical, nothing tells more truth than customer reviews from a credible site. 
Stay away from netgear, they make excellent hardware but their software is shitty, I wish I'd done more research first.
(Their internet adapters use over 50% CPU and constantly disconnect...no support for windows 7 64 bit that is actually fully functional)

I reccomend AVG Free for anti virus, I don't worry about viruses. The number one way to avoid viruses is just to watchout what you click.

Сєşάя:

* Anti virus (Avast)
* Advanced System Care
* Smart Defrag (Better than Windows Defrag)
