Updated.

For future contributions please follow this scheme:

7-Zip Archive Manager - Open source file archiver, a fantastic alternative to Winrar and Winzip. Mostly because it gives you the features that those two require you to pay to use, on top of supporting a better archive format. ~~ Hsu

Other than that, good stuff everybody. The list is looking great. (and thanks for the sticky to whoever put it up)

NB: If I miss something out, it's not a conspiracy against you, but me overlooking it or not getting what to do with it (ergo, it doesn't even fit into the "Not a bloody clue category"). Do it like bipper. Just remind me about it. And psk... don't forget to second your favourites from the existing list.

I moved avisynth to the video editing section for you, since that's what it's good for, and pretty powerful at that too Also, you might want to consider seperating CD/DVD/similar tools into another section

Also, Combined Community Codec Pack is the only audio/video playback codec pack worthwhile for Windows without all the bloat other packs (especially Kazaa) try to bundle onto your computer

Paint.NET is a wondeful freeware graphics editor thing!xD It's like Photoshop, but not nowhere near the extravagant price, because it's free!

But yeah, it's really awesome. I make all my signatures and avatars with it now, including the one i'm using now.

Updated.

I've also decided to give a lime-green font to the programs that were seconded at least once. Considering the fact that so far only I've seconded those are the programs that you suggested and I liked as well. More seconding is still accepted.

Winrar must be put on there! Its a VERY easy to use, fast acrchiver with practically support for every archive type!

Another brilliant program is CCleaner which simply put will clean all the cookies and other crap off your PC plus helps with a very reliable registry cleaning function and program boot manager.

Also Silkroad Online gets an honourable mention from me as a good FREE MMORPG with pretty graphics (compared with most FREE MMO's or even WoW) a evolving economy and neat setting.

Updated! Added "Security" and "Entertainment" sections! "Fun" became "Games"!

More(/any) seconds people!(/?)

Sadly, WinRar isn't free.

Actually they did a thing a year or two ago where you could download a serial from their website to run it without the nag screen like officially. It's perfectly easy to use it with the nag screen, I've been doing so for a long time xD

Just a thought. Differentiate between freeware and open source apps.
