Here I’m listing, for my own reference, what I should reinstall when getting a new computer or when restoring an old one. This is an ongoing list, updated as I install new stuff I find worthy.
- Windows. Meh. Then all the service packs available. Meh.
- WinRAR
- An antivirus. Avast?
- Firefox and what I need to get it running
- Chrome
- XAMPP
- Last.fm
- Winamp
- Notepad++
- Putty
- TortoiseSVN
- Filezilla
- GOM Player
- VLC
- A PHP compiled help file
- PowerISO and maybe not Nero
- Microsoft Office
- Photoshop
- SuperCopier
- Classic Start Menu from Classic Shell
- Re-enable the Quick Launch toolbar
- Reinstall the printer
- Acrobat Reader
- iTunes (die, shit software) and SharePod
- The webcam
- Skype
- FileSearchEX (search like it’s Windows XP)

For a free anti-virus, I’d suggest Microsoft’s Security Essentials. I’d say it’s better than Avast :)
