These are commercial programs.  You might try (under "Computer Chess Links"
using this message board) under "Freeware and Shareware Programs" for a large
list of programs that can be had without cost.

Here is a monster list of downloadable stuff from GambitSoft:

Be sure to read KK's excellent list:

If you are using Windows 95/98/NT, then I have two recommendations:

1.  If you are something of a technophobe, get Arasan.  It plays good chess, has
a very nice interface, and a monkey could install it.

2.  If you want the meanest, leanest, rock-em, sock-em, freely-available chess,
then get Crafty+Winboard.  But you will have to read documents, edit files, and
twiddle around to get things working right.  If you are technically inclinded,
it won't be too bad.  I have several commercial programs (of which Rebel 10 is
my favorite) but I like Crafty+Winboard as well or better than anything else in
the universe (chess programs that is).
