My trusty old (3 years plus) computer died a quick and sudden death last week so I was forced to do a re-build this weekend. Since my system was several years old, most of the existing periferals were no longer compatible. I've installed a new Asus A8Vdelux board, 3000+ AMD proc, 1gig ddr400 ram, geforce6600 Nvidia agpx8 v/card, and enermax 450w p/s. While I'm back on line, I'm not a happy camper... but I guess I'll get over it. The $$$ I spent on this stuff could have bought a premium heavyweight handsewn traditional. I hope this system lasts as long as the last one.

Anyway... enough crying in my beer.

I'd like to get some opinions regarding anti-virus, anti-spy, anti-popup software to put on this new system. What programs do you use and how would you rate them. (I'd prefer to buy other than Symantec as I'm not very happy with them at the moment.)

Thanks all
