Free Windows Software Without Spyware/Adware

Jem Berkes writes "This week I launched CleanSoftware.org, a resource site with a unique goal: listing free, daily-use software that is free from spyware, adware, and other malicious/intrusive components. With Windows users increasingly believing that free software invariably means adware or spyware, I set out to promote good, clean, free software. Perhaps geeks helping family and friends set up their new computers this holiday can make use of this resource; sticking to clean software is much easier than struggling with never-ending cleanups. To expand my listing, I am also looking for input from the Slashdot readership: what other free, clean desktop software do you regularly use that Windows users should know about?"

If you mean the apache logs please keep in mind that most of us are browsing around from work using our company mandated OS while waiting for someone from HelpDesk come up with to the office with the right "whatever" to fix "whatever" problem exists today.
