“There’s no such thing as a stupid question,
but they’re the easiest to answer.”

Here are some idea on what your pc/laptop should have a a minimum.

Browser: More than anything else, we use our computers to surf the web. Windows comes with a perfectly good browser—Internet Explorer. You can see how it fared against major competitors, including Firefox and my browser of choice, Google Chrome, in PCWorld's recent browser comparison.

Avira Antivirus

Antivirus: Connecting to the Internet without protection is like leaving the front door open when you’re on vacation, with a sign out front proclaiming “Expensive stuff inside. No one home.” A good antivirus program, working in the background, provides the protection you need. I use Avira Antivirus

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Supplemental malware scanner: Your antivirus isn’t perfect, so it’s a good idea to scan your drive every week or so with an on-demand malware scanner, such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Backup program: You wouldn’t believe how much email I get from frantic people who've lost important files because they didn't have a backup.

KeePass Password Safe

Password manager: You need a different password for every site you log onto. And the passwords must all be long and complicated. Since you can’t memorize them all, you need a secure program to store them. I use KeePass Password Safe.

PDF reader: PDF files are all over the place, and everyone assumes—with good reason—that you have software that can read them. My choice: FoxIt Reader.

Beyond this bare-minimum list, there may be other categories to cover depending on what you want to do with your PC. You may or may not need a photo organizer, web-authoring tools, or an accounting program. You probably need an office suite, but I’m not going to say that’s an absolute, especially with so many web-based alternatives. There are programs, such as games, that you may not need but still want. Some of these useful programs are free, but please remember that software programmers need to eat, too, and be willing to pitch in a little money if requested.

Wishing everyone a successful 2017!
