The best newsreader I've used with Windows is Forte Agent. There used to 
be a reduced function (no kill file) version and a paid-for version. Now 
there's just to one paid-for version (for a whole $29) with a 30 day free 
trial period.

You'll also need to choose a server to read news from. I see that Forte 
now offer a paid-for service which I've never tried. A lot of us use 
Eternal September

I think you'll find a newsreader is faster as well as nicer to use than 
Google's web browser interface. Just as Google Groups works rather like a 
web forum, a newsreader works in much the same way as an e-mail reader.
