One thing you will run into alot is spyware. I use Windows Defender, Ad-Aware, hijack this, and Spybot Search and Destroy to remove spyware. I also use AVG Free edition for customers who do not want to purchase Anti-Virus software.

Are you interested in hardware diagnostics tools too? The first hardware test tool I'd invest in is a power supply tester. So many mysterious PC problems are caused by PSUs which are in a marginal state of operation, but have not actually failed.
