    My favorite software is Revo uninstaller which let my PC clean and healthy from all the files omitted by uninstalled programs. OpenOffice and Foxit pdf reader are a must have software for any one. Thanks for this lens ....I like it...

    You ignore some of the best, TeX, Scribus, Inkscape, and of course the grandaddy of it all, Linux

    I've seen you recommend CutePDF for creating PDFs, you should also try doPDF at http://www.dopdf.com as unlike CutePDF it won't require GhostScript installed and it's free too - plus, visitors will appreciate having multiple options to choose from.

    Pant.NET is a handy MSPaint replacemnt for those who can't get a handle on GIMP, the free version of ArtRage is a lot of fun (I have lenses about it - but the full version, so not quite the same. But I still very much recommend the free one)

    Recently discovered the LazyNegumi app - I put a writeup on my Graphics Tablet lens recently, if you're interested (I'm the ONLY hit coming up on Google, I'm afraid!) It helps control the cursor to draw smoothly
    Pidgin is a very handy little (and undemanding) chat program - i use to to alert me to new emails and make sure the net's working! And it let's you login to a large number of chat accounts (msn, gmail, livejournal etc) at once.

    Netlimiter (NetMonitor version) - is also great, and small, and tracks your internet up/downloading and the programs doing the connecting

    Security wise - AVG, Avast and Malwarebytes
    A program called Clonespy is great for checking for duplicate files
    Seconding GIMP and OpenOffice, and CutePDF and I'll be trying neo

    I always use gimp and open office. Blender.org is a new one for me. On my way to check it out.

    Well Packetlog and dreamsgate - I think you missed the part where I said this was about software for newby's :) I did take you up on some of your suggestions though.

    Katinka, my favorites are Foxit reader (replacement of bloated Adobe reader, Allway Sync, FloderSize, Revo Uninstaller, TrueCrypt, Whatsrunning

    You should check out Blender 3d. It is a great open-source 3d modeling and animation software.
