[IMG] TFC - to clean unneeded temporary files.
[IMG] Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - to scan your system from time to time in search for malware.
[IMG] Malwarebytes' Anti-Exploit - to prevent plenty of mostly exploited vulnerabilities. (live INTERNET browsing protection)
[IMG] McShield - to prevent infections spread by removable media.
[IMG] CryptoPrevent - to secure yourself from very severe CryptoLocker infection.
[IMG] Unchecky - to prevent from installing additional foistware, implemented in legitimate installations.
[IMG] FiheHippo.com Update Checker - to keep your programs up-to-date.
[IMG] Adblock - to surf the web without annoying ads!
Not everything is necessary (for experts who don't need stuff like FileHippo, which isn't recommended for experts anyway)
And there's more - I used PeerBlock with the Spyware blacklist enabled, Spybot Search & Destroy (just the Immunize function is recommended, that's all), and SpywareBlaster (which only builds the Windows Hosts blacklist file - you can also compress the hosts file for faster execution time).
Also, avoid Adblock Plus - it has become corrupt for selfish corporate reasons. Just use Adblock, not Adblock Plus.

Ok with science that the big bang theory requires that fundamental scientific laws do not exist for the first few minutes, but not ok for the creator to defy these laws...
