Free Software

Here is a list of some of the free software I use on a regular basis - most every day or on every PC I build

I use Drupal to create many content management websites.

Picture editing - including bulk editing I use Irfanview

Picasa

Adobe Acrobat Reader

Trillian - messenger app that can run multiple msn, ICQ, yahoo and aim profiles simultaneously

Steve Gibson's utilities from GRC - run these to make your pc more secure
Un Plug and Play
Shoot the Messenger
Dcombobulator

Prefetch clean and control from majorgeeks - use this to rest the prefetch parameters and avoid Trojan virus using it

VNC - remote desktop management (way better than windows one)

Zone Alarm - firewall

Core FTP

Daemon Tools - Virtual CD Drive software

Skype - Free VOIP app

Adaware - malware remover and cleaner

Of course Firefox!

Setbrowser - forces your system settings to recognise the browser you want to use as your default - internet explorer is reluctant to let go of a lot of file associations
