You need to Download and Install RSS Bandit

I have found RSS Bandit to be the most user friendly out of the free news aggregators for Windows! Now before you go disagreeing with me, I haven't tried them all. In fact I've only tried just a few but here are some of my favorite features:

1. Auto-discovery of feeds when you point it to a web page.
2. Pop-ups (just like Outlook 2003 but not quite as fancy) when your news feeds have been updated!
3. Organize your feeds into categories (most aggregators do this!)
4. You have control over how the feeds are displayed to you! It is controlled by the stylesheet you choose to use or make/modify yourself.
5. It runs in the system tray so you don't have to worry about accidentally closing the app and not getting notified about updates.
6. It's open source!
   

I know I'm forgetting more but those are some of the basics. Oh one more thing it is written in C#. It is the best language I have found in a long time to get Web Forms or Windows forms applications developed and deployed in short order. Please comment if you have anything else I should add to this post.
