Malwarebytes AntiMalware
Malwarebytes its one of my favorite 'quick and easy' Antimalware programs to recommend. Download the free version, let it update, then run a quick scan and it takes care of 90% of the Malware programs my customers run into.
Microsoft Security Essentials
For most of my customers Microsoft Security Essentials is my prefered anti-malware solution these days. I usually recommend weekly scans with Malwarebytes as well. For my customers who do a lot of File Sharing and other activities which are more apt to get viruses I may recommend a more aggressive solution.
Open Office
OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute. A great alternative to Microsoft Office.
Picasa
This is by far the best free photo organizing, printing, archiving, minor editing, etc, software out there. Don't install the software that comes with your digital camera, use this instead!
SuperAntiSpyware
While the name sounds suspicious, SuperAntiSpyware is actually a very good on demand scanner. They have a portable version which clones its filename that allows you to remove those really tough malware that prevent you from installing/opening other anti-malware programs.
TeamViewer Screen Sharing Remote Control
A free secure screen sharing solution. One of the easiest and most reliable remote control / screen sharing solutions, free to home users!
