ONE OF THE THINGS WE LEFT OFF THIS LIST IS THE NEED TO INSTALL PROPER SECURITY SOFTWARE ON THE PC.

It’s a pretty good idea to get the security software installed early, perhaps even before you run Ninite or any other installer.

When it comes to free solutions, at the moment, we recommend the free version of Avast! ( avast.com), a free antivirus app that also has many of the features of a security suite. Installing it early is a good way to keep your PC in working order as you go through an install all your apps.
