New laptop. fresh win7ultimate install. now what?
November 21st, 2013
I’m thinking:
Avast free
malwarebytes free
Hijackthis
zonealarm firewall free
ccleaner
defraggler
Anything that I’m missing? good windows tweak guide?
I install many applications (80+) but these are the common ones:
Eset SS
7-zip
iTunes
CCleaner
TuneUp Utilities
IDM + JDownloader
Fraps
HDD Sentinel
Daemon Tools Lite
Launchy
CCCP
JetAudio
Notepad++
OdoPlus
LibOffice
Picasa
Sandboxie
Unlocker
Your Uninstaller
you’re going to install Malwarebytes, Zonealarm AND Avast? Why?
Just install what you need. There’s no need to bloat out a fresh install.
Powerful, fast AV suite (Outpost, Comodo, keep Malwarebytes on a USB)
Warez related stuff (Winrar, which can open ISOs so no real need for Daemons, jDownloader)
Apps (Browser, VLC, foobar/itunes)
Don’t forget to install Windows updates and hotfixes
Just install what you are going to use frequently.
foxit phantompdf business
tuneup utilities
ultraiso premium edition
winrar
unlocker
utorrent
the kmplayer
nero burning rom
acdsee pro
…
Download tons of pron from dodgy sites. That’s always the best thing to do after a new install.
