Make sure to keep virus scan up to date. I work on computers 80% of the work is fixing or rebuilding computers from virus damage. A tip don't pay for virus scan your cable provider will usually give it to you free. I am sure virus scan came with the computer but will run out, I have Time Warner Cable I get McAfee free, Mcaffe is not the best but its free. Yes Chrome Browser is the best.
-
you can add http://thepiratebay.sx/ into the mix.
-
I actually like IE9 (work) and 10 (home), but you do have to switch on Tracking Protection. Just add EasyList and you are good to go.
What I dislike: Firefox. Used to be great, but resource-wise it's shite now and slow as molasses.
One good thing about FF and Chrome: the HideMyAss plugin to proxy yourself. Especially useful if there is a nationwide blockout of a site (like TPB is blocked over here).
Torrents:
Some good ones already mentioned, but I often also check Kickass Torrents (www.kat.ph)

If there's not a program on it, my first concern would be a firewall and an antivirus.

Peer block doesn't do it my friend. The main problem with torrents is when you use a public torrent site. The best way for getting torrents and never getting caught...
1) Get hooked up with private site
2) Pay for seed box (maybe cost you $10/mo)
3) Use FTP program to download the stuff from seed box (FTP downloading will not raise a flag with your ISP and you won't get throttled)
Browser : chrome
Spyware : Malwarebytes
'other' cleaner : CCleaner
Video Player : VLC Player
This is an example of how much I do on torrents:

Chrome is good for general browsing, Firefox is also good as it allows a lot of addons, like the ability to download youtube videos. TOR is good if you want to surf anonymously and hide your tracks. Get a hold of uTorrent for downloading anything you like, Piratebay is still a good public place to download any software, movies, tv shows,XXX or anything else you like, if you are serious about torrents get an invite to a private site, I can help you with that. For watching video on your laptop, just download VLC video player, it will play almost anything. If you need commercial software like MS Office or ADOBE Photoshop, these can also be downloaded from sites like pirate bay using uTorrent. If torrents seem to much of a learning curve, you can download TV shows from EZTV.

Not asking for invite, but what is your favorite private? My personal is IPtorrents. Supposedly the best is something called "The site" or something like that. VERY VERY exclusive.
IPT for me is best for movies/tv/apps
Kick ass is good for tv shows and programs
Pornbay.org is phenomenal for porn
If you are going to go the route of FTP then CuteFTP is super easy

I only use two private sites, one called PRETOME and the other TVTORRENTS. I have been a member elsewhere, but I have found PRETOME capable of suiting most of my needs. I can get games/tv.movies/porn/ebooks all the usual stuff, there are more than enough members to make it easy to fulfil your upload requirements, which are far better than most sites I have found and donations are voluntary, and when you donate you are part of a raffle that has prizes like USB drives etc. I dl/ul 24/7 and copy everything over to a 12TB server that streams the content all over the house. There isn't much I haven't got in the way of popular media. I don't use seedboxes or any peer blocking devices, I have never received a warning and have been doing it for years. I only occasionally use public torrent sites like piratebay and Kickass.
What is IPtorrents like? What are the seed requirements? Are you interested in trading Invites?

IP is by far the fastest site I have ever seen. Seeding is like any other...get your ass to 1:1 and you should be cool. More you seed, the more bonus point you get which you can trade for upload credit or zap a torrent that is being seeded but you know damn well you will never get the 1:1 ratio. I have been doing this since back in the DC++ days (which kind of pre-dates the napster thing).

Yeah, that's why I like pretome, they have a 60h total seedtime or a 0.75 ratio on each and every torrent. So you can have a slow as shit upload speed and just seed it for 60hrs and voila! your good to go. Pretome also offers credits based on how much you download, it doesn't take long before you have enough credits to purchase VIP status which then frees you from any seeding requirements. You can hit.and run all day long and no penalty. I have been VIP for years and I have more than enough credit to keep his going indefinitely. I NEVER abuse it though and continue seeding 24/7. I believe in the community spirit of it !!! The 60 hr seed limit can see torrents become inactive pretty quickly, so you have to jump on them or use a RSS feed. But you can always request a reseed and usually someone will reseed for you.

I use Google Chrome. .. used to use Firefox but I just like chrome better.

Agreed. Used Firefox but switched over to chrome.

I wouldn't get a laptop for a home computer in the first place
Stationary and 3 screen setup ftw.

I am still using FF. What advantages does Chrome offer?

I used to be the same way. But cheap powerful laptops are a plenty these days, and there is nothing better than doing everything you need to do on a computer while reclining in a big fat expensive leather recliner using a wireless bluetrack mouse that can be used on any surface, in this case the arm of the recliner. Wahooo !! I am officially a NERD !
-

I use Chrome for pretty much everything, but switch to firefox to download youtube videos. I also use Google Drive, gmail, google calendar and have a Google+ account, I am still praying facebook will die and Google+ will take off.

I still don't see the point as I can sit in a nice comfy chair in front of my 3 screens aswell.
+ I get a much larger working space with 3 screens. Feels shitty going back to 1 small screen now.
For me only use for laptops is traveling.

how about running Linux? no need for that stuff
For a minute there I thought you were serious. What's that? you were serious. Cmon now, I imagine Groink will struggle with Windows 8 let alone the learning curve of a Linux OS. I know, I know, Linux has improved, it's easy, it's better blah blah blah...

LOL......I'm not a retard. but not Jonathan F. Computer either.
Windows 8 is ok I guess. you gotta get used to inadvertently opening shit, but that's about it

You most definitely need a firewall with Linux. Some distros have their own and it is disabled by default.

This is an example of how much I do on torrents:
I like Microsoft Security Essentials in this cocktail. It will work perfectly with everything listed here.
If you want to step it up, get Microsoft Windows Defender, it's the EXACT same thing but better. Comes already installed in Windows 8. If your computer has Norton or McAfee, just offload those programs and Defender will automatically kick on.
Also: BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD GOOGLE CHROME FROM THE CORRECT SITE!!!!! (I can't stress this enuff, if you get it from the wrong place you can seriously fuck your computer in a matter of moments)
Go too: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
-
Also if you want a decent movie (no-pay) site, go to Crackle.com
Just have to get used to the advertisements. The selections are pretty good at times.
I prefer Netflix. Cheap, and awesome selections of EVERY genre!

I don't think he was sayin you are stupid, just that linux is too complicated for non-savvy types. I tried it and promptly said fuck this shit and went back to Bill Gates and said sorry for doubting him. Windows is really the easiest of all the OS's out there. And yes I know all about Apple, just not my thing - leave it to the smelly potsmoking hippies to deal with. me - i like my evil Windows operating system. does what i need. Fuck linux don't even waste your time.

Epic thievery.

I use Chrome for pretty much everything, but switch to firefox to download youtube videos. I also use Google Drive, gmail, google calendar and have a Google+ account, I am still praying facebook will die and Google+ will take off.
I use DVDVideoSoft youtube downloader....I can send multiple links to the program and they batch download into whatever format I want.

Most torrent sites prefer something like utorrent. When on a seedbox its ruTorrent

No expert by far, just a personal view:
Hopefully Groink's new LT has the Windows 8.1 installed , with a start button. Win 8 systems have a newer learning curve, takes a little time to get use too. Sometime older programs don't run well (or at all) in Win 8's.
And yes, the 8's have Defender installed , so in theory you need not have another virus program added (in theory). Just to note, having two, or more, anti virus programs installed will only slow the machine and give many, many false positives flags.
Linux, superior & faster OS, but if any one has only using Windows in the past, there will be needed a different approach to working with it. Linux based OP's are many, and most are free. But running a Win program, on a Linux system, can be a pain in the ass (wine, virtual, crossover, etc). Dual boot ups work well.
If your on the web, you will pickup a virus, malware, edtc...no doubt. Russian/China/India porn & torrent sites are noted for this. If government agencies/giant corps, spend millions almost every day developing anti virus, etc, still get them, so will you. Don't care what OP is run, that personal computer, lap top, tablet, etc is an easy mark for people who know what their doing.. Any anti virus program are no solid guarantee. Same can be said for IP/VPN/Firewall software, which most are usually slow and overrated. Apple people are still in their own dream world about getting a virus/malware....they do and will. Safest OS is probably a Linux/GNU run system.
Been told by people much smarter than me that sites like GB are a piece of cake when it comes to hacking. A couple of them are still in high school.
World War III will be a cyber war, doing much more damage that any bombing raid in all history ever though of doing. The inter structure, power grids, finance/banks,water systems, communications, etc can be destroyed without a shot being fired. China, perhaps, the main worry in the future.

I use DVDVideoSoft youtube downloader....I can send multiple links to the program and they batch download into whatever format I want.
I used to use pirated commercial youtube downloaders, but Youtube kept changing and breaking whatever software I was using. Since it was legitimate software I couldn't update it, then when I discovered the addon app for Firefox (download helper), it worked a treat, will also convert video files, but I just download files in mp4 format, copy to my server and stream to my ps3. And it costs nothing and updates when required. I really only download the UFC post fight press conferences, as they pop up on youtube an hour or so after the fight. I copy it to the server and watch on the ps3, I still prefer to watch any lengthy media on the TV.

My brother .. who's been an IT guy for 25 years basically says the same thing. No antivirus Norton stuffl..Defender is on.
They are going to get into your computer..just accept it.
That's why you have two computers...one for serious shit..and one you whore around with and don't worry about the occasional STD.

Newsgroups>torrents any day of the week. No waiting for seeds, max out your connection downloading, sign up with an indexing site and download to your hearts content. SSL connection and there aren't any ISP's that throttle newsgroup traffic that I'm aware of and I've checked all the majors, Comcast, TWC, Verizon etc.

I do it slightly different. My hard drive it partitioned so one small part is programs/windows. The other part is everything else. Pictures, music, documents, etc. I have an image of a fresh install ready so if I ever want to just wipe my main partition clean....thats what I do. Then I look back at my software I know I have been using and reinstall any I need.

You'll need a newsgroup provider, find one here:
http://www.newsgroupreviews.com/
Just watch this video to set everything up, you'll also need an indexing site for the programs to search from, there are several free ones available, just google it:
Check the subredit usenet forum as well, lots of info there to get you going. It's not difficult, once everything is set up and installed you just enter what TV shows you want to watch into Sickbeard and it goes out and grabs them for you and any time a new episode is released it downloads it automatically. Same with Couchpotato but it's for movies.

OK...Downloaded Bittorrent..seems like the simplest one and not too involved.
So now what ? I DLed and watched the walking dead with zero problems. This AM wanted to DL Pacific Rim...Searched for it (that's correct right?)...and every fucking site wanted me to register this........DL this media player, upgrade that and it was one big circle....how (and where) do you get to what you want to DL...and fucking DL it without all of the bullshit going in circles?

You need to find and download the torrent you are looking for, just go to piratebay http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8984194/Pacific_Rim_(2013)_DVDRip_XviD-MAX (http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8984194/Pacific_Rim_(2013)_DVDRip_XviD-MAX),
You then then need Bittorrent to import the torrent file. Depending on your settings it may automatically do this (it is advisable when you get the chance to associate .torrent files with BitTorrent so they import automatically to Bittorrent.). I don't use bittorrent, so I don't know the exact procedure, but I think it is -->File then Add Torrent in BitTorrent (or press CTRL+O) and locate where the torrent file saved too and select it. Once you have done that it should slowly start downloading as it discovers other seeders/peers.

You need to find and download the torrent you are looking for, just go to piratebay http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8984194/Pacific_Rim_(2013)_DVDRip_XviD-MAX (http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8984194/Pacific_Rim_(2013)_DVDRip_XviD-MAX),
You then then need Bittorrent to import the torrent file. Depending on your settings it may automatically do this (it is advisable when you get the chance to associate .torrent files with BitTorrent so they import automatically to Bittorrent.). I don't use bittorrent, so I don't know the exact procedure, but I think it is -->File then Add Torrent in BitTorrent (or press CTRL+O) and locate where the torrent file saved too and select it. Once you have done that it should slowly start downloading as it discovers other seeders/peers.
Thanks..Yep....went to pirate bay right after I posted that and it was much more straightforward, Blueray version is downloading now....I was just on some bullshit sites. live and learn

oh yeah, be very wary of google torrent sites.
you really need to get a invite to a private site..... even I dont have one, ive been out of the loop for so long... I used to use demonoid but the US Gov took care of that
-
Switch to uTorrent....PLEASE
uTorrent is good, I wouldn't use anything else. But each to there own.

After the download is complete it is considered etiquette to seed the file back. Essentially, this just means that you leave Bittorrent open and allow other people to upload the file from you. The longer you can do this the better. Some people don't do this, they just download the file and then remove the torrent and never seed the file back to the community, this is called a hit and run. And although you can get away with it using public sites like piratebay, if you do happen to get a private site invite, you are required to maintain a seed ratio. Good Luck !

Chrome is good for general browsing, Firefox is also good as it allows a lot of addons, like the ability to download youtube videos. TOR is good if you want to surf anonymously and hide your tracks. Get a hold of uTorrent for downloading anything you like, Piratebay is still a good public place to download any software, movies, tv shows,XXX or anything else you like, if you are serious about torrents get an invite to a private site, I can help you with that. For watching video on your laptop, just download VLC video player, it will play almost anything. If you need commercial software like MS Office or ADOBE Photoshop, these can also be downloaded from sites like pirate bay using uTorrent. If torrents seem to much of a learning curve, you can download TV shows from EZTV.

uTorrent is good, I wouldn't use anything else. But each to there own.
I only say that because the private ones I am part of actually prefer it and there is one that will ban you for usage of other torrent clients.
Anyway....if you want an invite for IP, pm me where to send it.

I use FrostWire
just keep it updated
movies and albums + artwork all in your iTunes or I transfer file to flash drive and play on my xbox
watched Pacific Rim like 3 weeks ago in HD ;)
-
OK...Downloaded Bittorrent..seems like the simplest one and not too involved.
So now what ? I DLed and watched the walking dead with zero problems. This AM wanted to DL Pacific Rim...Searched for it (that's correct right?)...and every fucking site wanted me to register this........DL this media player, upgrade that and it was one big circle....how (and where) do you get to what you want to DL...and fucking DL it without all of the bullshit going in circles?
Just download Chrome browser you won't have all this bullshit.
-
Oh! here are some cool add-ons.
No b*llshit adds guaranteed.
Ps: you must know how to configured the add-ons.
Adblock edge
Better privacy
coockie cutter
Disconnect
DNS cache
Fire gloves
Flashblock
Ghostery
HTTPS everywhere

I just got a brandy-new laptop today. Not a program on it but windows...what's the good shit these days as far as browsers, sites to scam TV, watch videos etc....
it's a personal computer, not business
This.

which one do you run?
I use the GNOME interface.

There are alot of bullshit links on the torrent sites..there's an App on Android that searches all the top torrent sites and you avoid all the bullshit links...IT's called TTorent...
-
Stick with private sites and you won't have to deal with that
-
I've already figured it out..its not that hard...LOL.
Thanks for all the links.

Microsoft's new touchy Windows 8 operating system is so vulnerable to prying hackers that Germany's businesses and government should not use it, the country's authorities have warned in a series of leaked documents.
According to files published in German weekly Die Zeit, the Euro nation's officials fear Germans' data is not secure thanks to the OS's Trusted Computing technology – a set of specifications and protocols that relies on every computer having a unique cryptographic key built into the hardware that's used to dictate what software can be run.
Authorities at Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) later clarified that it was the Trusted Computing specs in Windows 8 in conjunction with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip embedded in the hardware that creates the alleged security issue. BSI released a statement that backtracked slightly, insisting that using Windows 8 in combination with a TPM may make a system safer, but noting that it is investigating "some critical aspects related to specific scenarios in which Windows 8 is operated in combination with a hardware that has a TPM 2.0".
Trusted Computing is a controversial bunch of specifications developed by a group of companies including AMD, Cisco, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Wave Systems Corp.
The tech is designed to stop the use of software and files which do not contain the correct digital rights permissions (thus protecting the property of vendors behind the protocols), including "unauthorised operating systems" (a specific function of the much-maligned Secure Boot). Microsoft argues that Secure Boot protects users from rootkits and other malware attacks. The set of permissions is automatically updated online, outside of the control of the user.
A machine that contains a Trusted Platform Module and runs software adhering to the Trusted Computing specifications is, arguably, under the control of the vendor – in this case Microsoft. It also identifies the machine to the vendor, meaning that users' identities can be linked to their machines as well as their online activities. As Redmond is a US firm, opponents to the protocols argue, users' data is theoretically accessible to US spooks in the National Security Agency via the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, as Die Zeit points out.
A TPM 2.0 chip is being built into more and more computers running Windows 8.
The newspaper obtained an internal document from Germany's Ministry of Economic Affairs written at the beginning of 2012. It warned of "the loss of full sovereignty over information technology" and that "the security objectives of confidentiality' and integrity are no longer guaranteed".
It continued: "The use of 'Trusted Computing'... in this form ... is unacceptable for the federal administration and the operators of critical infrastructure."
Trusted Platform Module 2.0 is considerably more invasive than older versions. Once this is rolled out across all Windows-using PCS, the Germans fear, there will be "simply no way to tell what exactly Microsoft does to its system through remote updates".
"From the perspective of the BSI, the use of Windows 8 in combination with a TPM 2.0 is accompanied by a loss of control over the operating system and the hardware used. This results in new risks for the user, especially for the federal government and critical infrastructure."
The Register previously described Trusted Computing as the "widely derided idea of computing secured for, and against, its users".
The leaked documents advised that Windows 7 is still safe to use, at least until 2020. Windows 8, on the other hand, is so tied up with Trusted Computing protocols that it is already "unfit for use".
Microsoft denied there was any backdoor. In a lengthy statement, a spokeswoman insisted that users cannot expect "privacy without good security". Redmond argued that users could purchase machines whose manufacturers had disabled the TPMs. Presumably this will one day become a selling point, although Microsoft argues this will actually make the hardware less "secure".
She said:
TPM 2.0 is designed to be on by default with no user interaction required. Since most users accept defaults, requiring the user to enable the TPM will lead to IT users being less secure by default and increase the risk that their privacy will be violated. We believe that government policies promoting this result are ill-advised."
It is also important to note that any user concerns about TPM 2.0 are addressable. The first concern, generally expressed as “lack of user control,” is not correct as OEMs have the ability to turn off the TPM in x86 machines; thus, purchasers can purchase machines with TPMs disabled (of course, they will also be unable to utilize the security features enabled by the technology). The second concern, generally expressed as “lack of user control over choice of operating system,” is also incorrect. In fact, Windows has been designed so that users can clear/reset the TPM for ownership by another OS if they wish. Many TPM functions can also be used by multiple OSes (including Linux) concurrently.
Rumours about a backdoor in Windows are almost as old as Microsoft itself. In 2009, El Reg reported on the NSA's admission that it had worked with developers on Windows 7's operating system security, forcing Redmond to deny there was a backdoor left open to spooks. ®
The good part now.
From 2015 MS will introduce mandatory new revision of Trusted Platform Module and from that point on Windows 8 will contain irremovable rootkit(thats how i call it) called TPS2.0
That will integrate/co-op with ur PC H/W chip installed in most of PC Components manufactured from 2015 onwards...
How bad it can be?
examples:
You will feel like a guest on your own system in your own home:
-MS thanks to TPS2 will be able to remotely uninstall moreso even permanently block
programs/games/apps which wont have digital signature in their code...(thats how deep they will be able to dig into your PC w/o u even knowing...
-In case of any suspicious activity on client machine MS is obliged to inform NSA etc...they serve you to security agencies on a fucken plate...w/o u even knowing...
-MS will have the right to un/de-register any Win8 installation whenever they think your OS might be a copy...If you try to counter act it by setting rules in FIREWALL,HOSTS files,VM ware etc...to avoid that check to happen they just fucken log onto ur machine and "fix it" for ya...da fuq!?...seems like it will be the end of cracked progs/games as we know it... w/e we do to prevent authorisation checks to happen,first time we come online on our system,Redmond will remotely revert all those changes...Fuuuck.
Can't we just never upgrade to any H/W PC COMPONENT that will have TPM2 H/W chip injected.?
Well it will be hard if you know Murphy law u know... how fast PC components become too slow, absolete,breaking/burning etc...
And some companies that signed under TPM2 scheme are(but not limited to):
AMD, Cisco, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Wave Systems Corp.
So for a starter u can forget about Processor Upgrade...
Ofc u wont buy ready HP,IBM,Fujitsu PC or laptop as those will have this chip preinstalled too...
