I've been trying to keep my Windows 7 machine as clean of software as possible while also spending as little as possible. I think I've done well

Security: Microsoft Security Essentials
DVD Burning: DVD Flick - http://www.dvdflick.net/download.php
Video conversion: Avidemux
Photo management: Windows Live Photo Gallery
DVD Ripping/conversion: Currently WinX DVD Platinum (downloaded free on free day earlier this year) but DVDFab is good also
Office/documents: Currently in the Office 2010 Starter trial program but normally Google Docs
Music: iTunes for some but mostly WMP

I did spend money on Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 for image editing beyond what I do with Canon's DPP

- I'm not sure that it does. It depends on what I'm doing with it. RIPIT4ME is probably the best to hard disk -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:33
How do you like MS Security Essentials? Is it robust? Effective? -- nm - TWuG Dec 2, 11:23 2
- Mop will chime in here also but it is very good. I've used it at work to clean machines that otherwise I had trouble cleaning. Great combination - oblique Dec 2, 11:24 1
