Visual Studio 2008 Express for new IDE + compiler
http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/
Edit: alright, so that computerquip doesn't blow up in anger. Here's a list of pretty much all free c++ compilers:

List of compilers:
Visual C++ //Cons: Windows OS dependant. Compiler depends on a runtime file. PROS: GREAT documentation. Great for Microsoft only applications
MinGW //Pros: Majority compiler. Very simple to use if you know what your doing. Extended amount of tools. Cons: Produces bulky code though which can be a downside.
Cygwin //If your coding for Linux using System Calls, this is what you want. CONS: Makes you drag around a dll if your using the POSIX layer included.
Digital Mars++ //Getting outdated.
Tiny C // C only
Borland C++ //Also getting outdated
Intel C++ // Commercial version gives better performance but the trial gives full functionality to an extent
MANY more

There's no need to get like that.
MinGW doesn't produce specially big executables except when the program is too short. There's an initial investment of ~200 KB for including iostream, after which the file only grows with the size of the program.
I have, however, seen MinGW produce blatantly wrong behavior in perfectly valid code. Namely, while redirecting output to files, the output would randomly redirect to the wrong file (e.g. stderr would go to stdlog.txt for no apparent reason), or random lines would be missing. Since then, I don't use it for any serious coding.

++(VC++) <_<
If you are on Windows, you should probably get this, if only for the it's godly (IMHO) debugger.
If you're looking for a compiler:
I recommend g++ for *nix, and MinGW for windows. (that's only because that's all I use, helios, so please don't hurt me. ^_^)
If you're looking for an IDE, go with Code::Blocks. Good'un, IMHO.
