What's a good freebie rss newsreader for IE on XP?

Here's a long list on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_news_aggregators (for Windows, Windows freeware)

Here's some help on BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3223484.stm?rss=/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/technology/rss.xml

Any comments, positive or negative, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance . . .

4. My fav freeware site has a few recommendations
http://www.tusafe.com/nonags/newsr.html

which is a mirror of http://www.nonags.com (check if there's a mirror better suited to your locale)

I've been happy with XNEWS for a while. It's fast and small and has good filtering capabilities.

8. I didn't phrase my original question correctly . . .

I didn't phrase my original question correctly . . . instead of requesting information from DUers about a freebie "rss newsreader," I should have requested information about a:

freebie "rss feed reader or aggregator" for my IE web browser running XP, without spyware, adware or other nasties.

Hopefully, this time I am articulating my question correctly in order to get the result I think I want.

What I am looking to get is a freebie rss reader running in my Internet Explorer to obtain rss feeds from blogs and other rss sources. Ideally, I would want the rss reader to have an additional option of running a selected rss source as a ticker or scroll incorporated into my IE browser, as well as entire pages in my IE browser windows. Is there a tried-and-true freebie open source program that's safe and wouldn't be running tags or ads or such? Am I shooting too high?

Is it also possible to get such a rss reader without having to go through MSFT's .NET framework?

Are there any DUers that want to get into this fray? <chuckle> Oh, come on, you know you want to tell me your knowledge and expertise. It's appreciated.

And thank you for those who've given their views already.

edited to add: wikipedia has a list of "news aggregators" but again I don't know what's great and what isn't: HELP!

9. Misread your post... Check out these Firefox features...
Get rid of the insecure, bloated, and slow MS Internet Exploder.

Check out the wonderful, customizable, speedy open-source Firefox instead at

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Read about its RSS integration:

And check out Sage:
http://sage.mozdev.org/
