What Is The First Thing(s) You Should Do When You Get a New Computer?
Bringing home a new laptop tonight. I read they don't come with restore discs anymore. Is this true? Is creating system restore disks the first thing I should do? What else do you do with a new computer to make sure things go right?
(Thank you in advance for your suggestions to fap, load porn, googel "aids tree", etc.) |

It comes with a year of Norton 360. Is there an antivirus that is better to the point you would toss out the free Norton?

Shit, really? Why? Huff recommends AdAware. What do you think about that combined with Avast?

Seriously i never use the crap that comes on it. Get your windows product key that is installed then borrow a win 7 disc from someone and reinstall.
