Newegg

Newegg.com has awesome support and service. When I need computer parts, I go to Newegg to see the latest deals for computer hardware. So far I've built three computers by ordering from Newegg. Their website is up to date and has very detailed descriptions on the parts you want. It even has ratings from many of their customers, stating how they liked the part. This website will save you from building computers that are unreliable. It will save you from spending time at the store, and help you undestand how every part will perform. Everything you want and need.

Frostwire 8/10

Have you been using Limewire to download the latest music and videos. Well if you have try Frostwire. Its from the makers of Limewire with the speeds of Limewire PRO and did I mention its free! The cool thing about it is that it finds other P2P (peer to peer) programs like Limewire and a lot of other so you can find what you want and you need. But all of this comes with a price you may accidentally download viruses too! So be careful of what you download. If your computer starts slowing down use Ad-Aware 2007 (Yesterdays Post).

Operating systems:
Windows
Mac OS X
Ubuntu/Debian
Red Hat/Fedora

Pros:
Free
Pick up everything
Customizable

Cons:
Viruses
Don't say I didn't warn you!

Ive been using many free anti-virus programs for years. At one point I had 8 running at one point of my computers life. Then I slowly dropped one then an other and so on.

Uninstall all your anti-virus programs and just install Ad-Aware 2007.

Finds Viruses that other anti-spyware programs cant
Fast and reliable
Faster than any other anti-spyware programs out their
