I just built my first pc. What are the essential programs I should download? I already got winrar, a torrenting program, and a media player. I'm mostly looking for an anti-virus program.
>>
VLC media player, Firefox 64/Waterfox, Steam.

Antivirus programs are memes, just get a javascript blocker (I use Ublock Origin)

If you're really dull and desperate enough to use antivirus, use NOD32. Everything else slows down your computer.
>>
Just stick to software from the official repos and you should be fine
>>
Check the sticked wiki.

I plan on pirating games. Is there anything I should have that makes that safer when installing games? I don't want to accidentally install some spybot adware or whatever.

Computers are for more than just games?

Things you should torrent:
>Office
>Revo Uninstaller
>Visual C++ Redistributable package
>.net framework package

Things you should just download:
>Audio - AIMP4
>Video - MPV/MPC/VLC
>Image viewer - InfranView/ImageGlass
>CCleaner - For registry cleanup and other cleanup and startup management
>Speccy
>PDF - Adobe Reader

Don't get an antivirus.

I'm gonna use this thread to ask which torrent program should i use?
>>
Just use Windows Defender with Malwarebytes.

Any way to not throttle my download speed whilst limiting upload speed on deluge?
