+1 on logiciel. Important note on the two other: they are virtually unknown outside of Québec (first time I ever heard "hameçonnage"). I believe bolidage is quite used in Belgium (would need confirmation).

@mouviciel: yes, Ordinateur for Computer. Note that in 1970s you would have used Calculateur (that is a more direct translation) - meaning has slipped. Also note that French uses masculine nouns in this case - in Spanish they use Computador or Computadora as far as I know.

There is also Navigateur for Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and previously Netscape, Mosaic). Netscape's browser official name was Netscape Navigator.

N'oublions pas le ridicule "cédérom"... d'une manière générale je trouve que les tentatives de traductions sont, au mieux, incongrues...
