steam

winrar

Hwmonitor from cpuid, same guys from cpu-z, great simple program to see temps from cpu, gpu and ssd/hdd + fanspeed of cpu fan


Hwinfo if you want some advanced monitor info



Folding at home



Office programms


Music programms



Vuze

What anti-virus programs should I be running? Would you guys reccomend a site advisor?

I'd grab VLC, Foobar, the CPUID software (HWmonitor, CPUZ, and GPUZ), Java 32 and 64 bit, proprietary Nvidia or ATI drivers, Libre Office, Steam, Jitsi (way better than Skype), Chrome, Firefox, CCleaner, and any other specific programs you know you use.

I have Malware Bytes on Windows, but no anti-virus on Fedora. I hate site advisors - they are just getting in the way.

I don't mean for recording, I just meant for showing your frames per second.

Java, Flash player, Google Chrome, Firefox, Crystal disk info (its rather interesting I find), some kind of autoclicker, imgburn, speedfan, all of the drivers, and finally some emulators

Personally I don't use an av. I don't need it and haven't since I got adblock. (off for tek)
