Firefox, obviously.
VLC, for its amazing Codec recognizing skills.
OpenOffice.org if he doesn't have Microsoft Office
And... I can think of anything else off the top of my head that I used to install on windows comps.

Mouses are computer accessories, along with the keyboard and speakers etc. This topic is about progammes like MSN and Internet Explorer etc. But not all internet based right?

I meant is he using OS X, Windows, Linux or what? Asking for programs for his new 'computer' is meaningless when we don't know what the hell he is running on it.

Meh, I just find VLC handy. Not only does it cover every Codec ever, it's fairly easy to run from command line. Sometimes I just run my desktops music by SSH-ing from my laptop across the room because I'm too lazy to get up.

Virus protection - I use bitdefender

Internet - I used FF but it lags like shit now

Media player - I use WMP classic

Instant messenger - MSN/AIM

Microsoft office for school

EDIT: Forgot, RapidShare Manager or a bittorrent thing.
Regardless - torrents suck cock.

Ahh, might explain it. I don't tend to run many .flv files, nor have I watched a DVD in months. These days I just watch movies off my hard drive.

Replace Avast with AVG, then I agree.

Chrome is good browser to have on hand as well.
