If you use Windows (Shut it Famine! Not a word Skibum!), you have to protect yourself from yourself and from everyone else as well. That said, life is not all work so you need to be able to relax and get the most out of your PC or laptop. The two links brings you to a collection that Cnet/Download.com put together as an essential set of software for all Windows users. This is not definitive by any means due simply to the fact that every program in this list is FREE or OPEN-SOURCE. There are certain examples of commercial competitors that will get you support and possibly more features but rarely will you pay and get better functionality and stability. I use most of these myself, discovered some new items in this list and will add posts with suggestions of my own that are missing from the list (but should be on) or, in the case of items like Firefox, are recommended add-ons and/or plugins that will further expand and enhance the existing software.
I suggest you grab a large, inexpensive USB key and drop them all onto it so that you can spread the love to all those family and friends machines that you look after. Who knows, some of it may just help cut down on the support calls that come your way.
Enjoy.
