I try to keep my computer clean with virus checks and more this is what I do weekly:
(i have xp)
1. Delete: Cookies, Temporary Internet Files, and History
2. Delete: My Recent Documents
3. Check Disk
4. Disk Cleanup
5. Disk Defragmenter
6. Back up stuff on my external drive and 2nd internal drive
7. Get windows updates
8. Update and scan with Antivirus and Antispy
9. Update and scan with Ad Aware
10. Update and scan with Windows Defender
11. Update and enable Spyware Blaster
12. Check and make sure Windows Firewall is on
Is that enough?? anything missing??

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

but other than using a few of those once a month or so everything you are doing will keep you protected =)
How to protect my computer??? (updated)?malware
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
