    Personally, I would not want team viewer but I do use
    Malwarebytes
    Avast
    WinPatrol
    Crystal Disc
    Macrium Reflec
    Karens Replicator
    Secunia PSI
    CCleaner
    Auslogics Defrag, (I like it more than the defragger that comes with 7.

    Here is an old thread that I contributed. Some of my opinions have changed regarding some software, but the thread is still timely.

    I am suggesting the free version of Win Patrol. It primarily alerts you to changes that have been made

    Crystal Disc allows you to easily check the condition of your hard drive. If it is beginning to deteriorate, it is time to back up, which you should do anyway.
