    Asus spendid video enhancer
    Download updater
    filezilla client 3.1.6 (unless you use FTP clients)
    Lightscribe system software 1.14.17.1 (unless you're going to be using lightscribe)
    live update 3.3 (symantec Corp)
    Mcafee Security Scan Plus
    Microsoft Office sytem 2007 (this is just a trial version)
    microsoft office professional edition 2003
