SUPERAntiSpyware - makes you think, “What a cocky name - it probably doesn’t do much at all.” Fortunately, however, it lives up to its cockiness. It effectively removes a multitude of tough bugs, such as the Vundo trojan and winspyware. While the free version lacks real-time protection, the full version does include it. SUPERAntiSpyware, in combination with AVG 8.0 Free, is sure to give those viruses quite a nasty experience.

Woot! (woot.com) features a specific item for sale each day. The items are quite often high-quality products being offered as a cheap deal.

(Interestingly enough, most items have a buyer within ten seconds and quite a few people buy more than one of each item.)

Pronounced “cool,” the new search engine at cuil.com created by former Google employees claims to have three times the amount of sites indexed as Google, ten times as that of Microsoft.

Led by Anna Paterson and Tom Costello, Cuil’s secret lies in the formula used to index sites, an innovation that has allowed the company to index so many sites while spending only $7 million and using 140 servers. (In comparison, Yahoo!’s search engine cost $300 million.)
