Thanks for a great list but I would definitely add the mother of all security apps that is Sandboxie. I would also try and avoid replication of softwares that do the same job to avoid confusing newbies and others who haven't come across these programs before. Finally I hope this thread becomes a sticky.

Added Thanks!

Can I also add

https://www.download.com - for free software/shareware
https://secure.logmein.com/ - free and easy-to-use remote desktop software

I haven't done a complete comprison yet but the next big thing (ONSHARE) from onshare.com may actually do a better job more securely although logmein is still pretty good.

Pdfcreator is free and great for making your own PDFs and also for testing exactly how a thing will print before you send it to a real printer. Once saved, such a PDF doc 'fixes' the print format so anyone receiving it will get a predictable layout. It can also create jpg and tiff images if you prefer. Can't be beaten for saving things like online invoices and receipts, online travel tickets etc and no embedded logo at the bottom either.

NOT to be confused with a commercial product of the same name!
