Here is a list of free programs that I find to be very useful:

Firefox (Web browser, like that nasty thing Internet Explorer)
Pidgin (Instant Messenger Program. No ads, not bloat, simple and light.)
Media Player Classic (A media player that has zen like simplicity with the power of a gorilla.)
Winamp 2.95 (A music player that was around before the rest of the world got on the internet and marketing people messed everything up.)
Open Office (Forget about paying for Microsoft Office, this alternative is all any normal home or business user needs.)
Grabit (Simple and straight forward usenet program.)
FileZilla (An FTP client without all the bloat.)
SuperAntiSpyware (The last program you will need when it comes to cleaning your computer of Spyware and Adware.)
Gmail (Because if you don’t use it, people will laugh at you.)
VirtualDub (Simple video editing and converting, made simple.)
Audacity (Great for quick audio editing or recording audio.)

If you have any recommendations please put them in the comments section and I might add them.
