Delete Mcaffee now.
There are most likely like 3 or 4 entries for it in Add/Remove Programs in the control panel, so make sure to get all of them.
If you're going to torrent, I reccommend uTorrent. It's lightweight and works great.
Obviously, never use limewire.
As far as browsers go, if you don't want to use firefox (why) your best choices are:
Opera (I haven't /extensively/ used this, but Tyvon and Lunyka say it's great, soooooo)
Google Chrome: A great browser, totally lightweight and fast, but I don't recommend it because it's a Google product, meaning that literally everything you do with it is sent to Google. Which is why as a second browser, I use...
SRWare Iron: Chrome, but better. Based off the same Chromium project source code as Chrome is, but doesn't include any of the data harvesting functions that Chrome does. In other words, it does all the same things and can use all the same addons, but is more secure and privacy-oriented. Has its own custom features that aren't in Chrome, such as built-in adblocking. The only reason I haven't stopped using Firefox and switched to this as a main browser is because FF has much better support for addons and stuff. Maybe if somebody was able to port over Adblock Plus and Noscript, but for now this is just my secondary browser.
Most places would have the new IE on this list, but ahahahahah IE
Same with Safari, but it's almost as bad.
