PC Starter Kit (or essential tools for everyone)

PC Stater kit on Download.com offers some of the best essential tools that everyone should have or at least have knowledge of.

Replacements:
ZoneAlarm replaced with Sygate Personal Firewall (free)

Security:
Must add the new AntiSpyware from Microsoft

There are lots more I would recommend but really didn't want to take away from the article written on Download.com.
