As I'm installing a new rig for everyday use (Internet, gaming, office stuff and so on), I would like to hear, which programs, I should have installed.

I'm thinking, this is, what I need:

Firewall
Antivirus
Office

Something missing?

All the programs should be FREE.
Hope you'll help and recommend some good progs.

Diskeeper (at least the free Lite version, but shell out for 8) AVG Antivirus, Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware 6 for keeping clean.

Firebird for your browser, Thunderbird for mail. Visual IRC, SmartFTP...
