Hi - Iv just reformatted my computer with XP Pro with SP1 & SP2.

But what im trying to do is get some other good programs onto it that will help keep my beast running smooth.

Iv currently got Ad-Aware and Nortans System Works 2004 Pro. Just wondering if anyone could help by telling me some other programs which are good to help keep my pc fresh…??

Ben

Spybot and Ad-aware makes a great team.

(I recommend running only Spybot until you can notice something that it’s not picking up, then using Ad-aware.)

You should also surf with firefox, it makes spyware-searchers less necessary: only IE installs and downloads crap all over your computer, mozilla doesn’t.
