A good list.. I also read a list in Lifehacker which had a bit high sized softwares but the list was good.
All these softwares are essential and they should be always there within a USB drive which can be used for any new laptop purchase and installation.

@Shankar, I will review the software he had recommende by downloading it once on one of my pc and the write a review of the same. Problem is on a quick check it shows that they even install torrent softwares which are disliked by many.

Mr Amit,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Earlier the better on your checking.
Mr Avinash,
I am already a subscriber to your blog and I know the Liberkey. Since you have used the words -bundled installer- I thought by single click one can download and activate in one go.

Glad that you included CCleaner in the list. It is one of the most required software but most of the bloggers fail to mention about it.
