I build alot of computers but typically only for family and friends. Sometimes they'll call me back after a couple of days asking why they can't open a PDF file or play a DVD and I'll realize I forgot you install a program on their computer when I set it up. So I'm looking to put together a list of freeware that would be installed on the typical budget-PC-user's machine. Here's what I've got so far...
Foxit PDF reader (thanks knothead34)
Adobe Flash Player
Adobe Shockwave Player
Avira antivirus (thanks Apophis)
OpenOffice.org
PDFCreator (thanks IeSLIe)
Quicktime alternative?
DivX
k-lite codec pack (thanks snaggletooth)
VLC Player (for the DVD decoders)
Windows Media Player extension add-on
IMGburn (thanks snaggletooth)
ExtractNow
So what freeware do you guys install on a new PC for a typical low-end PC user? I'm hoping I can add a few to the list here...
