You guys are awesome -- I'll check out AVG, it seems to be the top pick so far.  

CK: As for the 2k install - I have a dual boot system with 2K on a partitioned 160GB 
and XP on it's own 80 Gb (The 80 Gig failed on me once before which is why I use 
it for XP - I hate XP and only use it for games that won't run on 2K so I don't care 
if it fails again).  The 2k drive is installed on a 25 Gig partition with the other 
135 gigs is used for storage. I use 2k for pretty much everything - listening to 
music, internet, downloading, photoediting, and the few games that will run on it. 
 I run nothing in the background when at home (because I don't have internet access) 
and task manager usually shows about 16 processes.  The hang ups usually only occur 
on startup (when 2k used yo be on the 80gig - even when it was my only drive - and 
thus packed with other stuff) it would startup really fast -- now it hangs at the 
log on screen.  I also notice that Spybot S&D takes a decade to load however I'm 
not sure if this is my computer or the fact that I'm using a newer version than was 
previously installed.
