Likewise. Plus puush loads very fast and takes up little resources.
The other programs are very nice though, may I add.

I used to do that, but it's such a long process. I find it easier to spend 2 minutes downloading an auto image uploading program, and when I need to upload an image, simply press a button and paste the link.

I use ShareX.
I have it configured to where I press print screen, it lets me choose a rectangular (or any shape) region of ym screen, it uploads, auto pastses link in my clipboard, and bam it's uploaded in maximum 10 seconds.

You missed another major one. Ninite! This is a super useful program that updates various applications to the latest version for you. This is especially useful for programs that don't include warnings for updates / patches etc. Plus it installs various programs at once. This can be super useful especially after you just reformatted.

Yeah it's essentially the same idea. It really cuts back the annoyance of having to find new versions of programs and kind of eases the process of installing programs. It's the first thing I download when I reformat.

Nod32 with Malwarebytes is a great combination.
RE: Must Have Programs For Windows - McLovin - 05-16-2013
Great list, but he is what I say on it.
Malwarebytes, is not need if the user has no idea what their doing, and as since MBAM is not an AV I would recommend a user that has no previous experience with computers to use Microsoft Security Essentials.
Photoshop can be good, but some users would never use it. They might just want a computer to check their emails and the news.
Ahh, Dropbox. Everyone loves it but once again, what happens if your not a techish savy person? To them it's just another program on your computer that's using internet and resources.
Steam is great if your a gamer, but what happens if your not?
Google Chrome, now before I get my head bitten off by people, Chrome is good yes, but in the recent tests Internet Explorer 10 came out on top compared to Chrome. So why not use that?
PowerISO, is good for burning yes, but what happens again if the user just wants a computer to surf the net?
Gyazo, I'm not fond of the program, as I use Lightshot.
Virtual Clone Drive is not needed if the user is not a person that download's or copies ISO images. Just uses system resources.
Notepad++, hmmm, why not just use Wordpad?
Speccy, I say is not needed if the user has no experience with computers. Why would they even need it on their system?
This is just what I think of the topic.
Cheers.
