GOOGLE CHROME Without
a doubt, the browser I recommend most, especially now that it is compatible
with Windows and Mac o/s as well, it now has bookmark sync and extension
support. There are issues where certain websites may not load properly as
they are not up to date with this latest browser therefore you should always
have a second browser installed (other then the Internet Explorer since you
really do not want to have use this at all)
 AVANT BROWSER=
Although the Internet Explorer is always installed (on systems prior
to Windows 7) as it is part of
the windows operating system, you do not have to use it! For
anyone that has ever had a problem with spyware/malware, you should be
changing your browsing habits and that MUST start with the
choice of web browser. This browser is by far the most user-friendly,
emulates the Internet Explorer to other websites, so what are you waiting for?
Download it now! The Avant Browser is very user friendly. Visit their
website.
 =Avast
Antivirus. My choice for your free antivirus security as well as your
Professional needs including Server support!

FIREFOX As
mentioned above, I suggest installing both Avant Browser and a second
browser. You can make that call whether it is Chrome or the Firefox
browser. Although the Avant Browser is completely "Internet Explorer compatible"
with most websites, they will believe you are using the Internet
Explorer. There are times, especially if you are producing web pages, where
you will want to confirm your pages look good and so having a second browser
installed is a good idea. This way you NEVER have to use the Internet
Explorer. Since the Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operating
system, it will always be
the most widely used browser but this doesn't mean you have to use it! The Firefox browser has many 'plug-ins' making this a very compatible browser
for all your advanced needs and for that reason I suggest those that are not
looking for advanced features to stick with the Avant Browser.

What used to be AIDA32-Freeware
hardware diagnostics and memory benchmarking solution for home PC users, based
on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. It offers the world's most accurate
hardware information and diagnostics capabilities, including memory benchmarks,
hardware monitoring, and low-level hardware information. Note this software is
no longer available on their website however they say they will continue to
support.. therefore you must choose the last version they made which is

 BELARC
Advisor-Much like Everest but still part of my arsenal since it has some features
such as windows update file/patch indicator. With the many patches we are
hopefully retrieving with the automatic windows updates, this will let you know
if they were installed and are working correctly.
