    The software i use most regularly is:
    CCleaner - removes temp files and searches and cookies etc
    Zonealarm - free firewall
    AVG - antivirus

    I used to use Adaware, but this is no longer supported :(

    Adaware is still free http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
    I use Sygate firewall, Avg virus scanner, Spybot S&D, Ccleaner and Advance Windows Care. I don't use the Windows firewall on XP as it is not (in my opinion) as good as other types.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I ran my system without any antivirus fine for ages thanks to this little gem. 256MB Ram isn't quite enough if you want to do other things besides run some antivirus programs :D

    thanks muchly :beer:
