Very useful dude

Also Virtual Dub for coding videos
Firefox (best browser available)
uTorrent
RegEditor
K-Lite Codec Pack
VideoLan video player
Mplayer video player


NOD32 Anti Virus (not free)

I also like password safe.
Its useful for storing passwords using a master password and it is competently encrypted.
