There are a few more "tools" that may come in handy

Use a mac perhaps. No virus's or spam. Windows sucks. Vista sucks more. 98 is ok. the best is 95 because you cant do anything on it. Go with mac, the new opearating system is out soon and people from pc world are saying its the best ever. Macs rule, so do ipods.
You could save yourself a bit of time using a program called CrapCleaner...

But other than that I believe you are covering the bases quite well.



The secret to protect yourself is to disconnect from the net :)
whats missing is you are using windows firewall, turn off windows firewall and use the free www.personalfirewall.comodo.com
