Alright then, let me clean my cache.

I prefer wires hark over pretty much any other network traffic monitor. Cisco has a nix proprietary one, but its mainly used for large network analysis. Wires hark is as till my preferred. Another good idea Is to know how to write custom firewall rules. IE: don't allow outbound traffic out of certain ports.

Awesome! I have no use for this but it looks pretty fancy haha!

Your Teamviewer looks much nicer than mine & mines says its uptodate.
You could maybe put in Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Also, what do you guys think is better & why, Puush or Gyazo?

None of them. Go with ShareX. Install it, try it and YOU'LL tell me why it's better.

Ill try that out and if it is better, ill change it in the post.

It may have more features, but id rather just have something simple that works than more bloatware on my system. If i have that running all the time, i also have to have .NET 3.5 running all the time. But i can see yout logic in why it could in some ways be better.
Why would you disable your .NET 3.5 Framework ? Lol.

I really don't like gyazo. If you click the image it tries to make you download it and I don't like that. You should check out ShareX. I've been using it for a good two months, and it just uploads stuff to imgur. You can also get it to upload your clipboard to pastebin, record gifs, a lot of stuff. Its also pretty lightweight.

How about adding these to your list?:
Teracopy
Notepad++
BitTorrent?
VLC Media Player
Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox
File Shredder
Tor Browser?
Yeah, might update with a few more but I would recommend adding a few of those!

I think the thread would look better if it was aligned to the center, great tools none the less buddy.
