http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

Core Temp, CPU temperature reader, shows how hot your cpu gets during games or while being idle, gives a sound warning (can be turned off) when the cpu gets under dangerous heat, very good little app.

VLC truly does have an annoying seek bar. I'm not sure if you can customize it, but that's what I like about Winamp. Arrows to seek, buttons on the keyboard to pause/play/stop. VLC is good because it plays almost any .avi, .mp4 etc without issues. Winamp I had to download a codec pack for it.

Winamp is cool because I used it when I was growing up, the classic skin looks like a perfect player, lolz.

Browser: Firefox/chrome, depending on if you use extensions. I use firefox.
Antivirus: Malwarebytes. In the past, I've had an issue where windows security essentials has failed to detect a virus (ran in safe mode, scan came out clean, virus still there) but I've never had that problem with malwarebyes.
Video: CCCP. I don't really like VLC because of the crappy seek bar.
Torrent: uTorrent
Music: I used to use winamp, but I've gotten increasingly frustrated with it so eh.
zip: 7zip
Useful freeware: Launchy


Definite +1 for the Malwarebytes, its a REALLY great scanner in my (unfortunate) experience.

Do not use AVG free, it's ridiculously bloated (147mb setup file, are you serious?) and has a history of fucking your computer up with its update files. Get either Avira or Microsoft Security Essentials, much lighter on the resources and better detection rate.

Browser: Chrome
Torrent: uTorrent
Media Player: CCCP + latest Media Player Classic Home Cinema for video, foobar for audio
Other: Depends on what you do, I like Daemon Tools, Thunderbird and Foxit Reader

thanks for this, I used it just now. tech support formatted my laptop when I asked them to replace my keyboard <_<

edit: also I know a lot of people like to go without AV but honestly MSE is lightweight enough that it's worth making it that much harder to get a virus. "Don't do stupid shit" is easy enough (not opening attachments, not going to sites with warnings, etc) but there is a lot more to it, like running on a limited account and being able to spot malware with tools like sysinternals. For lazier people it's worth it to use an antivirus.
