What software would you guys install first if you had to do it all over again?
I’m thinking:
Avast free
malwarebytes free
Hijackthis
zonealarm firewall free
ccleaner
defraggler
Anything that I’m missing? good windows tweak guide?

Answer #1
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

Unlocker
Your Uninstaller
Answer #2
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
Answer #3
Just install what you are going to use frequently.
Answer #4
foxit phantompdf business
tuneup utilities
ultraiso premium edition
winrar

nero burning rom
