Hello, just got a peerblocker due to my torrenting and was wondering what other programs might be out there

that you would recommend downloading for me and the rest of the unit members.

Currently i use AVG for virus protection :)

There are a couple of threads in the MSO about stuff like this.

But, for a summation, here you go:

I prefere Microsoft's Security Essentials over all other AV programs. I'll get into the details with you in vent or something, because for some reason, people are quite passionate this. However, don't listen to any of us. Go here and read up on how to compare AV software and what-not. http://www.av-comparatives.org/en/comparat...summary-reports

As for tools and what not, everyone needs to have this stuff:

ccleaner (crap cleaner) - helps clean up old stuff that is "orphaned," files that are associated with programs that are no longer installed.

auslogics disk defrag - the BEST disk defragmentation software ever.

hijak this! - don't run this, unless I or another qualified person tells you to. But, it can save your system.

malwarebytes - run this once a month, to make sure your amatuer (only) photograph and video collection hasn't taken a toll on you.

winRAR - you need this to save, compress, and store stuff. And don't wuss out and keep the free version, crab cake up and buy it.
