Must Have Websites & Free Stuff for your Computer!!

I frequent Kim Komando's website quite frequently. For those of you who don't know who she is, she has an AM radio show and she's got to be the computer queen. She talks about the best way to do things with your computer and on her website she suggests sites that you can go to (usually for free) and with me and my frugal self I LOVE this!

So I just wanted to share with you some of the best of the best that I can't live without on my computer!

CCleaner - FREE - Cleans all of the junk out of your computer that you don't need (CCleaner aka Crap Cleaner). It's VERY user friendly and usually clears out a large mess. Every computer needs this! www.ccleaner.com

Defraggler - FREE - A very easy way to defrag your computer. Also very user friendly, you just click "Analyze" and it will tell you the stats on your computer. The first time I ran the analyzer it showed that I had 14.1 GB of fragmented files on my computer! So I clicked on the "Defrag" button and it went right to work. It even has the colorful little blocks that you can watch while it's working. Sorry, just an Amy Plus LOL www.defraggler.com

Mozilla - FREE - I use this over IE ALL the time. It's not just a Kim Komando site. I just recommend it. It's an Amy Komando site. It's definitely safer than IE and I think it runs much more smoothly. Check it out! http://www.mozilla.com

Project Gutenberg - FREE - If you LOVE ebooks, but don't like paying for them. Don't do it illegally, go to Project Gutenberg where you can download ebooks for free! They have something like 30,000 titles. It may not have exactly what you're looking for though. Keep in mind this is a legal site. But it's worth trying out right? www.gutenberg.org

Audio & Video - FREE - Especially if you love listening to books in the car or on your iPod, this is another great site. They have TONS of legal and free downloads. Def one to check out!! www.LearnOutLoud.com

Canadian Streaming Radio - FREE - HAHA! This is an Amy Komando site. There's just things I like about listening to Canadian radio. This site lists all the Canadian radio stations that have streaming audio. So you can listen while you work! www.canadianwebradio.com

I'll post more when I come across them so bookmark this posting and check back frequently!
