Open Office (if you don't know this, you need a slap)
http://www.openoffice.org
Office soft ware 100% free and works very well.  On a side note there are some rumblings about this product and development with Apple.. basically MS Office is going to be fucked next year.

You mean open office :P

Microsoft Security Essentials has replaced AVG as my free antivirus of choice.  Solid antivirus engine, really good performance, and none of the stupid nag screens that have been added to AVG since my original post. 

Core FTP LE is a good free FTP client, and Img Burn is good free burning software. 

CCleaner is also great for cleaning up your system as well as fixing registry issues.
