Here are some links, software, websites, and other recommendations I find exceptionally worth mentioning. I have no affiliation with any recommendation and urge you to donate if it serves you well.

Cyber Security News
These are some of the security news sites I check on a regular basis. I like them because I rarely see their posts on regular news (CNN, NBC, etc.) and most tend not to regurgitate articles or partake in fear mongering.
CSO Online, Salted Hash Top Security News Good for the enterprise CSO or CIO.
Krebs on Security A good look into underground or the dark side of the internet, and mostly non technical.
SANS Internet Storm Center Technical and good for Systems Administration.
Threatpost Technical and I choose it for the Mobil Security catagory.

Knowledge and Learning
4n6k if you want to learn about Digital Forensics, and is quite technical.
edX free online courses from many universities like MIT, Berkeley, Harvard, and more.
Open Security Training excellent computer security classes.
Paul's Security Weekly is a great wiki for all aspects of Cyber Security, check out the Technical section.
RxList learn about drugs and vaccines before you take them.
Social Engineering Framework if you want to learn about Social Engineering start here.
Small Business Cyber Security Guide (pdf) I co-authored this paper to give small business a good starting point for Cyber Security and Continuity of Operations.

Podcasts
Cisco Cyber Risk Report strategic intelligence that highlight current security activity.
Crypto-Gram Security Bruce Schneier's monthly newsletter
No Agenda not a security podcast, but covers political news and quite entertaining. They have their own lingo so listen to at least a couple of episodes.
Paul's Security Weekly security news, research, hacker techniques, vulnerabilities, and technical how-tos.
SANS Internet Storm Center I like the daily one for security threat news.
Security Now! great to get a little security news and explanations on how computers work.

Software
I like simple to the point add free software that works well. I recommend these along with a few for pay which I find well worth the money.
7-zip is great for zipping files in several formats, 7zip, zip, gz, tar, and more.
Any do is the best Android / iPhone / Chrome / Web app I have ever found to sync your Google Calendar and Tasks with your phone. It does a little fudging for tasks so they won't appear properly on your google account. Overall the look and feel is outstanding!

Clonezilla I use for disk imaging, the wizard could be simpler but I haven't found anything that works better for free.
Microsoft EMET is great at enforcing Data Execution Prevention (DEP) so it is a good defense regarding attacks from Metasploit and similar.
Notepad ++ is a nice Windows text editor, simple, small and the ftp plugin is nice.
NoScript a Firefox add on that prevents websites from running code on your computer. It will break your internet because so many sites run code on your computer, so you will have to tell it what sites are ok, and if you do it smartly it will block pop up adds.
Script Safe a Chrome extension that prevents websites from running code on your computer. It will break your internet because so many sites run code on your computer, so you will have to tell it what sites are ok, and if you do it smartly it will block pop up adds.
Spinrite this is for pay and has fixed my computers on several occasions. Some problems you wouldn't think is a hard drive issue but actually is.

Websites
The three below are good if you are unsure of a website link and want to check their reputation before you follow the link.They are not a threat analysis because they do not check the functionality of the site.
