If you're running Windows, Paint.net is a good option.

FastStone blurs the entire image, not just a selected area. Great
program, though.

Not quite correct: of course, you have to select mode (edit > select mode,
and to choose what do you want to blur: rectangle area, circle or freehand
area).
Tried few secs ago, works.
It's free, fast, great program, and it CAN blur selected area:)!

I use FastStone Image Viewer 3.7, and don't see an option to select.
Perhaps that's present in a later version.

Since I have CS4, I don't edit in FastStone, but I use it as a viewer
and to cull my day's shots. The tagging, sorting, compare images, and
re-numbering is really easier to do in FastStone than in Bridge or
Lightroom.

If you've already got Microsoft Photo Editor, the Smudge tool does it.
