The best and more useful utilities for Windows 7

Your PC broke because, let's say, you were trying to install some modified updates for your pirated XP, they did something unexpected and you were stuck without PC for a week. Gerard, who is a very good friend of yours, has a "totally legal" Win 7 license to spare and you invite him to your home, talk about old times, eat pizza and fix your god-damned computer.

You never thought you would leave your faithful XP back, all the errors you dealt with were nothing compared to the good times it provided, the gazillion hours you spent on the Internet and the games you discovered as your PC received better components and upgrades. You never thought you'd change that 10 year old OS (Operating System), but you did.

You did, and now you'll be happy because you won't be seeing that ugly, buggy and problematic XP any time soon:
Hell to the fuck yeah!

Now, provided that you are a computer abuser like me, you'll like your PC as easy to use, functional and useful as possible. To make this possible, you'll need programs that do cool shit for you like Internet browsing, downloading and converting videos from YouTube, playing games, recording and playing media, ETC...
If you're like 99% of us humans, you won't want to spend hours upon hours looking for those special applications that do exactly what you want. So without Further to do, here is the post that contains...

EVERYTHING THAT I'VE EVER NEEDED FOR MY
NEW PC'S OS ( Windows 7 )
 
Play the music for a comfortable downloading session ^_^

THE ESSENTIAL "MUST-HAVE" STUFF:

Before going any Further, remember to uncheck any "add this tool-bar" or "install also this other program" that is in the install process. Almost all of the programs on this list are free and that advertisement is their income source, don't install any toolbars or McAffee whatevers (they're so useless and annoying).

- Firefox
-- Add-ons for the thing:
--- AdBlockPlus (no more ads on websites!)
--- Dictionaries(for spell check reasons)
--- Lazarus (it remembers what you wrote everywhere on the net and can get it back for you!)
--- Tabmixplus (Tab management at its best)
--- Search Preview (shows a picture on the left of your Google searches)
--- CoolPreviews (lets you preview any page, image or video without leaving your current page)
--- FireGestures (use movement to do stuff like going back or forward)
-Steam (PC gaming at its best [plus sales!])
-µTorrent (pirated stuff... I mean sharing totally legal files)
-Microsoft Office (this one is not free so buy it or look it up for yourself)
-iTunes (good if you like podcasts, it's neat to use as your main place for media and obligatory if you have an iPod)
-Free Studio (all-in-one app for downloading, editing, converting and burning all kinds of media even from youtube)
-WinRar (compress and decompress any file)
-Daemon Tools Lite (this program mounts disc images without burning them in a DVD or even having a DVD drive)
-Skype (phone calls and video-conference for free)
-Avast (the best free anti-virus program)
-Adobe Flash Player (to watch everything from youtube to youporn  ^_^)
-Adobe Reader (reads pdf format files)
-Fences (the ultimate desktop organizing tool)

OTHER PROGRAMS:

-Everest (the tool that tells you what PC components you have so you can search your drivers properly )
-Nvidia drivers (download the latest one so your PC runs better)
-ATI (AMD) drivers (the same as up^ here)
-Xbox 360 Controller drivers (for some cross-platform gaming)
-uMusic (a cool program that makes a video out of a music file and an image so you can post songs on youtube[that's how I put the music above])

I hope after this post your PC is as awesome as this:
