    Lately I've been downloading and trying out all sorts of free software, and since I build systems on the side of normal work, I thought it would be cool if I could give a customer a CD or 2 of free apps for Windows.

    So, I'd like to know what applications you've used and felt could replace retail software. So far I've been impressed by these titles:

    AVG Anti-Virus
    OpenOffice
    Filezilla
    WinAmp

    This site, AnalogX, has a lot of good freeware also. I've used several different apps.

    CDEX
    Best app I've found for ripping CDs, it can also convert audio formats.

    Programmes I do use daily:
    BELARC ADVISOR - doesn't phone home.
    E-PRESS EASY OFFICE SUITE - (MS Office Suite clone)
    SILLYSOFT - just fun
    MAPMAKER'S SUNCLOCKS5 - way cool!
    SPYWAREBLASTER/MRU/SPYWAREGUARD - all same Company
    UNINSTABILITY - just installed, will report back later.
    Programmes I do not understand:

    AVG - antivirus program which is good but has a nasty habit of quitting after about 3 mos. use. (grrr)
    AD-AWARE6 - have some serious questions about it.Can somebody explain what use the FREE edition is? (My answer: not much)
    SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY - which imho works better than Ad-Aware. ?
