Here you have a list of alternative options to commercial software. Personally I use many of them and believe me if I tell you that some of them are better than commercial ones. For Example, Mozilla Thunderbird is really great to manage all my emails accounts. For programming a great editor is Notepad++, for antivirus one of the best is AVG on its free edition.
