    Personally, these are a few of what I use:

    • BeyondCompare to compare files.
    • 7Zip to work with zip and tar archives.
    • Notepad++ to edit my scripts and source code.
    • ClamWin to detect viruses on my machine.
    • Malware Bytes to keep the system clean from malware
    • CCleaner for registry maintenance.
    • Defragler for defragmenting disk drives.
    • Putty to remotely connect via ssh.
    • Ext2Fsd to view my linux ext4 partitions.
    • FileZilla for remote file transfer.
    • WinSCP (Haven't tried this yet).
    • LibreOffice to work with spreadsheets and documents.
    • Git for checking in code and also get some bash utils (like ls, cp, ssh, etc.).
    • ConEmu to get a linux-like console.
    • GIMP for working with raster graphics.
    • InkScape for working with vector graphics.

    Would love to hear about more useful ones that others are using!
