This is an excellent list. One suggestion I have is to add CCleaner. I don't know what I'd do without it.

Kudos to you for recommending me that one! I completely forgot about adding it.

I don't know how many people would use this, but Game Booster is a great program. It shuts off all unnecessary processes and programs to maximize your PC's performance.

[Kinanizer]

I would say to have Open Office instead of Microsoft Office, I would also recommend Comodo Dragon over Google Chrome, and finally I would add Comodo Fire Wall. Besides that great post.

[The High Roller]

What's funny is that I have all those programs at the moment.
Those are the most common.

[Ultimatum]

Great list, but Skype is unnecessary to be on there. It's like saying you need FaceBook Messenger on their. Depends on people's use, but good list nevertheless.

[Mustnabs]

I have most of those and will think about getting some others, thanks!

[da capo]
