You don't need anything else for media, no codec pack or any non sense bloat. MadVR - so that your videos don't look like shit. If all you want is a solid all-round free solution than I usually recommend Avast. If you don't mind paying for your security my personal choice is either EMSISOFT Anti-Malware Home, ESET Internet Security or Kaspersky Internet Security.

I've used and tested pretty much every major (and most minor) security software over the years. Malwarebytes with Emsisoft Emergency Kit as a second opinion scanīleachBit (or CCleaner, I tend to just stick to open source stuff when possible)Įverything (there are other good search solutions but Everything is nice, small and simple.)Īnti-Virus/Anti-Malware is a bit of a bigger topic. OpenOffice or LibreOffice (again personal preference) VLC or foobar2000 (depending on your preferences, I like both for different reasons) Every PC I build almost always has these installed no matter who it's for įirefox /w AdNauseam, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials and BitWarden addons.
