5 Pc utilities you MUST have?

[mtb211]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for PC utilities that are superior to what I have now. I'm looking for utilities that can speed up your PC performance(preferably Free),utilities that are better than what I currently have or programs that I don't know about that are simpler and better.

My current list

1)SuperAntiSpyware
2)FireFox
3)VLC Media Player
4)Nero & Photoshop
5)Avast AntiVirus

anyone else have some good Programs maybe I didn't know about, someone recommended superantispy to me over the lavasoft spyware program, def better, FireFox > IE VLC > Media player

Malwarebytes Antimalware and Superantispyware go hand in hand. But Malwarebytes is my first option to run.

Do firefox, vlc and photoshop count as utilities?

 

[Bodaggit23]

Not really. Just useful programs.

Utilities are more like optimization and cleaning.
