- AntiVirus I use different ones on different computers. As a power user I disable the on the fly scanning to conserve cpu and memory.
- Avira Personal Edition - has highest detection rate but has pop-up advertisement. Though it can be disabled, I actually recommend buying a license.
- Avast Home Edition - Recommended by Dickson. Very good but I don't like having to renew my keys every once in a while.
- AVG - Free version does not check for malware.
- Telnet - you actually have to go into Windows 7 and install this manually.
- Any Password - centralize your passwords. Now I am looking at an open source alternative called KeePass which I can hopefully hook up to an application server and make online. Even more ideal, I can perhaps hook up KeePass with a java web app with 2-Factor authentication.
- KeePass* - a central place to keep your important data with one master password or master key file. I currently am using the Kepass 2.10.
- LastPass - Looks to be better than Any Password and KeePass in that it keeps passwords centrally on a server. Master password is hashed locally on desktop. Also has browser plugins.
- Second Copy - I have been using this forever to backup my data. My favourite feature, it can keep versions of you backups, like the last 3 versions of the file.
- SyncToy - Microsoft provides a free product for syncing folders. Not sure if feature rich as Second Copy (multiple backup versions) but will ask Roderick to install and check it out (since he's not using anything at the moment).

If you heavily use SSH consider putting together an web page that will launch an ssh application.
