About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Antivirus?
Malware?
Browser?
Backup Software to an external HDD/NAS?
Media players? (I have a Blu-ray burner/player in my new rig)
I am getting prepped to setup my new laptop and I realized I was planning to just use what I always use. e.g. I always use Avast so I was going to uninstall McAfee and install Avast but thought, "My good friends at GS can probably drag me out of 2005!" Maybe there is a much better option now?
After using Paragon, Marcium, and a couple other programs for disk copy I noticed there are some quality back up programs for free. Maybe the tech studs at GS know the best?
Some are obvious, like Chrome and Firefox+Zotero. Others, like Office are out of necessity (yes, LibreOffice is very good). But after that I am pretty open to suggestions!
I am considering Startisback / Start8 / Classic Shell for a Start Button/Menu fix (I hate what MS did to the desktop!) for some of my fixes.

Since 6771 DaysThat said I installed START8 and my system boots to the Desktop and has a Start Button/Menu. Boots in like 8 seconds, too, from cold boot. SSD+Win8 is a nice combo.
That said I looked at a lot of Win8 "apps" and I must say I have no interest them. They don't tend to be multitask friendly or play nicely w/o a touch screen.

Since 6567 DaysI am currently just using Microsoft Defender and built in firewall. For malware I got Malwarebytes anti-malware. Nothing fancy but seems to work ok.
I use VLC as my media player but I don't have any optical drives. So no idea about Blu-ray compatibility.
If you have SSD: delete hibernation file, disable defragmenting, move temp folders and browser cache to another drive.
Oh and Steam!
Hail to the king, baby!
Victory needs no explanation, defeat allows none.
