i have windows advanced care v3 and spybot. my computer works great, no viruses. Unless you go to some not so reliable sites, you don't need all of that. even still, you wouldn't need all of that.

NOD32 on your PC is like putting your car in a giant safe with a 50 digit combination.

I little too much for me. Now I'm only really running Windows Defender, AVG Free, and do all of my other clean-up and maintenance with TuneUp Utilities. Before making the switch to Vista 64, I only used ZoneAlarm instead of Windows Firewall.
Knock on wood, but I have, NEVER, repeat NEVER had any viruses, malware, trojans, and any other threat get to my system. Perhaps I'm just lucky.

Redundant.
Have three programs... ESET - NOD32 (which I use as a site ad blocker too). PCTools - Spyware Doctor 6 (to remove all those damn tracking cookies and spyware which NOD32 may miss -- like changing the site name from *.com to *.net which these spyware companies love to do to evade blacklists). PCTools - Registry Cleaner (to clean up the registry of junk). |

ASUS Mobile... uhm, what? What is that for?
If you run Linux (and are fluent with it) just use that? Then use Crossover or some emulation for Windows?
