Now that the biggie is over, the rest is much simpler. Once again, free of cost software only.

Utilities
7-Zip is a file archiver that supports many formats, and is free.
ISO Recorder - This allows you to burn "iso" disc images from within windows without the need to resort to other programs such as Nero
Anti Spyware
There are two good options that I am aware of here, but I have not used either in a good while:
Spybot Search & Destroy - Simple, easy and very good.
Ad-Aware Free - A brilliant product by Lavasoft. Gets the job done, and has a nice interface to boot. If you decide to choose this, from the link, do not use the trial pay. the free version is all you need.
Multimedia
VLC Media Player - It plays more or less anything you can throw at it, but has a slightly ugly interface. I can live with that.
Office Software
OpenOffice.org is a free office suite that is mostly compatible with Microsoft Office and its formats. There may be a few places where it lacks features, but for most people it does the job.
Graphics Packages
The Gimp - A very famous graphics manipulation program. Not the easiest to use, but its powerful and can get most things done once you figure out how.
Paint Dot Net - Another power graphics manipulator, but this one has a more intuitive interface and should be easier to use for most people.
Inkscape - A powerful free Vector editor. (its more for drawing then editing existing photo's images etc.)
Blender - a complicated 3D modelling program. Its complicated, but then again I would expect animation to be complicated anyway.
