Simple List Guideline:

1. AVG Free or Avast! free (one) Antivirus. - Software MUST be setup then correctly after install. Server AV = ClamWin. I do NOT use the security suites. Uninstall possible existing default programs such as McAfee, etcetera.

2. Microsoft OS and Office Updates.

3. Superantispyware

4. Malwarebytes

5. doPDF "printer" - Optional on Win10. MS is just as good.

6. A DVD Player may be needed.

7. Adobe PDF Reader and other Adobe Programs as desired.

20. Make an Additional Login ID, and copy your original User Login Data to it. Make another additional separate Login ID - Make these all Administrator (s). This is for future in case of MS-OS Login ID, Profile Failure and PC immediate use.
