Avast is far superior to AVG. It has a better detection rate.
Recent versions of Ad-Aware are junk. The best free antispyware as of now is SUPERantispyware, followed by Malwarebytes Anti-malware.

I should also point out that Firefox will not protect you. While firefox is not a bad web browser, if you really care about protecting your computer, you would use Opera. Opera is and always has been the most secure web browser on the Windows platform.

I think every 3 years is about average in my house for a new machine. This laptop should last through to graduation fall 2010.


I would bet a lot of tech guys build a new machine every 6-12 months.

Download and install the free version of this great program.

This is the best one that I have found.

So, you did not do a total wipe. Just formatting lets some of the things live.
It seems there are two malwarebytes versions. One works and the other does not,

i managed to unroot it with "avast!". it's pretty good for that sort of thing. spybot, nod32, .... there are a few others out there but those are the main ones i use. general spam, spybots, and tricky trojans removing programs. the internet is nice and all but it's full of traps.

Spoiler for Some Good Rules for Christians:

Luke 10:27 (Love God Above All, And Your Neighbor as yourself)
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 5:43-48 (Pray for those that persecute you)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Luke 6:27-29 (Love your enemies.)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."

true.. but it'd be confusing to give Windows7 the name "Windows 8" while still retaining the original product name
