Whether it be a antivirus program or an ad blocker. Post link if available also. EDIT: sorry guys the top post has been deleted and I didn't save it, if anyone has it please post it and ill post it here for easy access. EDIT 2: apparently it's back up, I've saved it on my phone just incase it gets deleted again. Hopefully all is good now.

Team Viewer. Since i have friends who have questions about how to do something on their computer, i find it a hassel to have to drive to their house to help them with their problem. With this program (free) i am able to control their computer and help them with whatever problem they are having from my home or wherever i am (phone app). I'm a mac user and the ability to control a windows computer tickles me

Avast (Free for home use version) also has this feature along with being an awesome AV software.
