Q:

Daily e-mail reminders with workflows

I need a workflow which will check a custom list -for every row in this list- every day automatically and if the total value column is 0 then it will send an email to a user. Is it possible with SharePoint designer 2010 and InfoPath 2010? I can not use visual studio to develop a batch application.

A:

If it's good enought to get a daily summary of new items where the total is 0, then you can create a view to show these and add an alert when new items enter the view.
Otherwise a timer job is the right solution or as you're not allowed to use VS against the server a program using the client object model which is run on a client PC by the task scheduler.
I'd only use the looping workflow described by @PirateEric as the last resort as it's a kludge which depending on the size of the list is going to put a heavy load your servers for no good reason.
