Advent 4213 What apps should I download?

I just got an Advent netbook. It works just fine with my 3G sim. I downloaded Firefox, and managed to activate the Norton 360 that came with it.

Are there any programs that it is really recommended I download to be safe security-wise? I updated the flash but am sure there are others I need.

I'm a bit of a techno-noob, so I'd really appreciate any input. Thanks.

    Anyone? Do I need Avira or anything? I upgraded to WMP11, and everything seems smooth so far, and faster than the ancient desktop I was using.

    Only if you remove Norton. ;)
