Finding Lost Windows CD-keys

Kim Komando has a great download of the day. It will help you find your Windows operating system CD-key as well as keys for Microsoft Office products. This is a great download and very useful if that CD case is missing or the tag has mysteriously disappeared from your computer case. It is opensource and freeware. Crazy about the name too - Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder. Please, please do not be distracted by the ads flashing on the right side of this page. The actual download is just a few lines down from the page header on the left and is in a green bar. Click on it and follow instructions. Remember you download at your own risk. The beach house won't be responsible if you screw up. This utility has been around for years so it has seen the test of time. This is perfectly legal. You certainly have a right to your product codes. Might be a good idea to print it out and put it in a safe place. Mine is printed and stored. You'll need it if you have to recover from a case of hard drive mass destruction. Kim Komando has a great site that I visit daily. If you forget her addy there is a permalink at the bottom of this page.

Have you opened Spybot S&D, updated, immunized and scanned today? Take a few minutes, have a cup of coffee and let this great utility protect your PC from the garbage. It's one of my all time favorite utilities. Again, you download at your own risk. Also, it certainly helps the developers if you donate. So get up off that hip pocket or open that purse and send these nice folks a few dollars.
