What do you install on a new or reformatted computer?

[Trotter]

We used to have a thread somewhere on this but time has buried it in the sands of yesterday.

What is your goto list of programs that you install on a newly built or reformatted rig? It does not matter if the apps are freeware or not.

I normally install:

• Firefox
• Windows 7 Codecs
• Teamviewer
• CCleaner Slim
• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Pro)
• MS Office
• Quicktime
• Flash player
• Shockwave Player
• Adobe reader (or Foxit Reader)
• WinRAR
• Revo Uninstaller
• Security Essentials
• Java

That's all I can think of right now...

BitTorrent, VLC, Steam, Skype, Rainmeter, ImgBurn, Chrome, CPUID, Fraps, WinRAR.

And for security, I got a 60 trial of WebRoot SecurityAnywhere Antivirus with the G75. I love it! Really low system resource usage, and it's working pretty well. It's leagues ahead of MSE, IMHO.
