Downloading a movie using BitTorrent is illegal . I believe that is against the rules in this forum .

Not to argue on semantics but this is not 100% true. Yes, true for copyrighted material but there are legal torrents. Some bands and indie film makers distribute by torrent. I've seen legit software offered with a torrent option alongside direct download. There are also old films and TV shows that are public domain- the original Night Of The Living Dead, the original Little Shop Of Horrors(not the musical, the 50s version), the Beverly Hillbillies TV series, etc.

Torrents are often used for illegal downloading but they are not illegal by default.

Guys,

Please don't digress from the issue at hand.

@VistaKing : If there is no other suggestion from your end then I'll go ahead and format my laptop.

Hi VistaKing,

Firstly thanks for all your suggestions and help.

I have formatted my win 7 with factory settings and have also installed most of the updates.

I intend to use Microsoft Security Essentials as the only AV software on my laptop. Is this sufficient?

Please suggest a good antivirus software which would protect me atleast while browsing. Also these windows updates
just don't seem to end.

As for rest of the things, I am more than happy to use ubuntu.

Thanks & keep up the good work.

Cheers!!
