Solve : Recommended Utility and Security software?

Answer»

With all the utility and security software available and with so many different software "gurus" out there, it is easy to be confused about what software I should have INSTALLED on my PC.  I am looking for a list of recommended types (not brands) of utility and security software that every PC owner should have installed.  For instance... REGISTER cleaner, Disk Cleaner, Anti-spyware, etc.  Has anyone ever seen such a recommended list?

Registry cleaners are dangerous. If you aren't intimately familiar with the the registry then it is BEST to leave them alone.

One reliable antivirus.
One reliable firewall
Disk cleaner - CCleaner Slim (No Toolbar)  -  Also has a fairly safe registry cleaner. Always use the backup feature in CCleaner when cleaning the registry.
Antispyware - There are many good ones. All found HERE are safe.
