New Computer, what should I install.

[lazerman]

NOD32 rofl.

Oh and, all anti viruses cant stop you getting hacked anyways. Seeing many kiddies create new stubs each week.

[iLogan]

Update: Uninstalled Norton and got Microsoft Security Essentials. Any other things?

[DJ-Ains.T]

Get ashampoo ~ that's an amazing antivirus program.

Skype
iTunes
Google Earth


and you're banging.

[jackass]

Skype, Spotify, Paint.Net, AVG, Spybot etc.

[Tomm]

Just put the stuff on it you actually use? You obviously don't use the application if you need to get someone to suggest that application for you to install

[Stephen!]

I don't understand this thread. Why would you buy a computer and then ask us what to do with it?

[The Professor]

I find EASEUS partition manager helpful to have on the computer. CCleaner and Advanced Systemcare are pretty good for system maintenece. Mp3tag for editing id3 tags on your music if they're messed up.

And Peggle is a must have

[Agnostic Bear]

Ok uninstall everything and then install these:

Firefox
Thunderbird
MSE
MPHC
7-zip

Extras:
Steam
Skype
Filezilla

[Richie]

My advice would be to ignore this thread and only download stuff that you actually need, for example "oh I need to put songs on my ipod" thats the stage were you'd download it. You don't want a load of useless crap that you'd rarely use.

Agreed with above, but whenever I reinstall Windows I install these first:

iTunes
Firefox
Adobe Flash plugins for IE and FF
Silverlight
MS Office 2010 BETA
WinRAR
VLC Media Player
Shark 007's Windows 7 codecs
Windows Live Messenger
STEAM + Games (dont actually install, these are stored on my data HDD)
Microsoft Security Essentials
Comodo Firewall
TweetDeck
Setup Media Center
