Hi, on my xp comp, i used:

Avira anti-virus (i like this and plan to stick with it)
Zone Alarm basic firewall
CCleaner
Ad-aware
Spybot Search and Destroy
Diskeeper
Page Defrag
Miscrosoft BootVis
NTREGOPT

are any of these not worth keeping?  i started installing some, but figured i'd ask to see if there's better free stuff out there now.  I've read that the vista built in firewall is good enough, anyone want to confirm/deny that?  Bootvis and Ntregopt just helped to clean out the registry on restarts... should i still use?

thanks for any input... as soon as i get vista all figured out and some things loaded onto the new machine, i'll write up my review!

CCleaner will help you to edit your startup apps no need for duplicates so drop the bootvis and NTREGOPT, don't mess with the registry unless its giving you trouble.

I like eset security suit it has nod32 and its own firewall.

both adware and spybot miss stuff, run spysweeper trial version make its settings like this:

SS settings to see what they have missed.

I run a freeware site and I will be the first to tell you that when it comes to security apps, freeware is not the best idea.

so the best is there congrats, can't wait for the review and pics/oc specs
