Windows:
-Comodo Internet Security (Free) AntiVirus + Firewall in one great product
-Adobe Dreamweaver (Paid) Great web design software
-FileZilla FTP (Free) Stable FTP client
-OpenOffice (Free) Good replacement for Microsoft Office
-LibreOffice (Free) OpenOffice Clone
-Paint.net (Free) easy to use basic image editing, slightly better than MS Paint...
-GIMP (Free) free Photoshop replacement. Very complicated lol
-CCleaner (Free) Speed up and de-error-ify your PC
-RealPlayer (Free) Download YouTube movies
-Skype (Free) Great way to keep in touch, and it was just bought by Microsoft!

Never tried it. I always use Norton.

-Adobe Dreamweaver (Paid) Great web design software

I've never needed it as I can code.

-FileZilla FTP (Free) Stable FTP client

Excellent.

-OpenOffice (Free) Good replacement for Microsoft Office

I've never liked it. I prefer office.

-Paint.net (Free) easy to use Photoshop replacement.

I use GIMP.

-CCleaner (Free) Speed up and de-error-ify your PC

Excellent.

-RealPlayer (Free) Download YouTube movies

Never really used it.

-Skype (Free) Great way to keep in touch, and it was just bought by Microsoft!

Hard to register for me, so I haven't used it.

I know plenty of HTML/CSS but dreamweaver is an easier environment to code in that say Notepad or something like that.
Norton? Are you crazy? :P c_hegge likes it too...
I think it slows down the computer too much but i havent tried any recent version so i dont know...

Dreamweaver is VERY good for website development (as Shovenose mentioned).

I use Adobe Fireworks to make cool art such as the on in my signature. :P

Edit: I really despise Norton, especially when they ripped XBOX 360's name and made their product "Norton 360" - which is even worse than the predecessors.

Some nice choices, these are my top software choices:

- Notepad++ Great for developers/web masters
- CCleaner Keeps your computer clean and free of rubbish
- Advanced SystemCare Disk defragmentation, Spyware/Malware Removal, Junk file removal - great software
- FileHippo Update Checker Find updated software without manually going through your programs looking for updates
- Kaspersky Internet Security All your security software in one
- QFX Software KeyScrambler If you get keylogged, it stops people seeing what you're typing, helpful when typing sensitive information.

All the ones that I mentioned are free, except Kaspersky Internet Security. Some of the above offer a paid version as well though.
