Today I'm getting my old trusty laptop back from repair. It's been out of order for some months and I've lost track of the essential software updates and programmes. What are the absolutely must have?

Windows Updates.

AntiVirus updates + AntiSpyware stuff.

You could run this Secunia Software Inspector for important updates.

So now that you and your computer are happily reunited, all is well and you are using it as a force for good? Truth, Justice, and the ... um ... Danish Way?
