Legend Zero Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Avast...It's free and I use it. I hear Avira is good too.. Also download Malware Bytes as it's so pro. (and saved me from a crashing laptop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAEGING D0GKING Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Ok thanks. Ill check them out. Also should I get FireFox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smesh Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 It's better than IE. I don't know about Safari, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gospel. Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 FireFox. Luckily my laptop came with Avast! already installed. what kind of laptop is it anyway? Any specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Chess Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Avast is the best anti-virus. But mine came with one and till now I had no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzi Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Opera isn't bad, per se, but you'd be way better off with either Firefox or Chrome. Out of those two it's pretty much personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Duelist Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Google Chrome > Firefox > IE Google Chrome pwnz everything, go to this link, it has proof. At the bottom of the page, Google Chrome Stable got 23/30, which was the highest rank and put it at #1.

CCleaner helps clear space on your hard drive and fix registry errors. Make sure to save registry changes though... CCleaner clears space by deleting history, temporary files (trust me, I had like 5GB of temporary files, and thanks to CCleaner I removed it), cookies, etc. You can choose what to delete.

Firefox has (questionably) the biggest feature set of any browser, and Chrome has been shown to be the fastest.

And download IMGBurn if you need to burn a lot of files on a dvd/cd. I've used Nero and stuff like that, but so far, I have found IMGBurn the best. Its fast, free, and super-easy to use. Nero costs money. Here's the link to IMGBurn's website: [URL]http://imgburn.com/[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avast.. I've never tried it, but "Avast me maties! Avast is probably crap too!"[/b][/i] Internet: Palemoon [i][b]- Chrome. No Arguments. Tests performed by various websites led to them finding out the fastest Web Browser: Chrome. See my older post on this thread ^^[/b][/i] Random odds and ends: WinRAR [i][b]-AGREED!!! WinRar is very useful when extracting files and such. Its also pretty good when you need to upload files on MediaFire or something and you even save disk space. This is a MUST DOWNLOAD program. Others prefer 7zip and stuff, I like Winrar best.[/b][/i] [/quote] My Reply To PikaPerson01's post ^^. [s]Please get[/s] Don't get offended or anything.

EHN. Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Malware Bytes, Avira. Once you get adjusted to a browser, it's hard to change, for example I can't change to chrome after using firefox for so long >.> Odd things: Winrar, GIMP, YVD(lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
