nice job!!!

little update: .DOT NET is not required for CD burner xp pro. see here. enough people complained about their switch to DOT NET that they decided to offer an alternitive.

also very worthy of mention is ClamWin, a FOSS and *very* good, very light anti-virus. note that isn't for newbs however, as it does not do real-time scanning (which is one of it's better assets IMO). ClamMail is the counterpart for e-mail.

PopTray is, by far, the very best e-mail checking util i've ever found. very simple, yet LOADED with useful features. FOSS, but it's Delphi.

KeyPass Password Safe, FOSS, and the best PWD manager i've yet come accross.

Filezilla, one of the better FOSS FTP clients/servers.

@ atamozier - Thanks for the heads up. List edited.

@ alsiladka - As you can see on the topic description, the list is made of Free and Open Source Software. So yes, the "normal freeware" is acceptable.

IrfanView is free, so it should be on your list. I use it and it rules.
