I was over at VANA yesterday and came across a post that’s worth its weight in gold! Well, that doesn’t really make sense does it? How do you weigh a message board post? Anyway…it’s great information. If you are a member of VANetworking.com, you probably already read it, and if you’re a virtual assistant and not a member, you should scoot over there and register!

One must give credit where credit is due, and this thread was posted by the fabulous VA, Karri Flatla.

Check out this article at PC World.com, and then feast your eyes on PC World’s 15 Best Downloads of the Year.

I’ve already replaced my virus scanner with Avast! (featured on the list) and I also downloaded the coolest program ever that I never knew existed - CCleaner. Seems popular. The creator of the program claims it’s been downloaded 100 million times. (100 million and one now thanks to moi :)) In my very nontechnical assessment, from what I can tell, it searches your system for…well for lack of a better word…crap that is slowing down your computer. I let it run and it cleared out something like 385MB of stuff that had been gumming up my poor ‘puter.

Get yourself a cup of coffee and check out the list. There are some great free goodies there.

Enjoy and thanks Karri!
