Mine,

Funny you should ask. I just happen to be a Nigerian prince and for $350 in iTunes gift cards, I will send you a free, comprehensive guide on the software I run to keep those nasty spammers at bay! Hakuna Matata!
Seriously, the complete Norton suite is included with my internet cable/internet package, and it runs mostly automatically. I would like to try CCleaner though, I've heard good things

+ some sort of antivirus just in case, like avast, avg or 360, whatever :P

also f.lux but that's just so I don't hurt my eyes staring at my screen for like 16 hours a day xD

Defraggler? You need to swap over to SSD drives :D

Especially on your Kali. Makes John the Ripper run so much faster :)

We are all to poor to buy SSD because we spent all our money on big ships!

So that's why I have an Idris and no monitors with a higher resolution than 1080p.
