I recommend, to add the services.msc to disable , remote registry and other security risks like remote desktop, secondary login.

wow this is great for a noob like me. So if i get the recomended 4 AV's do i still need my Norton AV?

The ones mentioned aren't AV's ( I mention 2 AV programs near the end), they're Anti-Spyware/Malware. I'd use antivirus and antispyware program.

Will try, maybe at the weekend.

I've got some stuff about virtual memory on slower computers to add.

The title should be

"How to maintain a healthy Windows System for Noobs"

If you have used them long enough you already learned those, many times the hard way.

that guide was great..although i knew a fair bit of it, its always worth reading that kinda stuff...and like someone pointed out, how to optimize your system ie virtual memory and stuff like that would be great....

also outpost is a great firewall, i use it at home but isnt too good for networked pc'as it it was blocking certain things that i needed on the network

thanks for the tips on avast...im currently using AVG but seems like avast could be my next move

Also, I've never used Outpost I'll try it out.

excellent guide, but i have a question

the spysweeper that u posted is only the trial anyone where to get a free version that you talked about?

thanks

Thanks, and sorry. You have to pay for spysweeper, there is no free version aside from the trial. It's a typing mistake.
