• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

First I want to start by thanking every one who helped out, by answer all of my posts. I just built my first PC.

AMD 3500+ 939
ASUS A8V Deluxe
480W TRUE BLUE ANTEC
ANTEC SILVER PERFORMANCE CASE
1 Gig of Corsair ValueSelect
NEC 16x DVD burner
160GB SEAGATE

Now I have a few questions. First I would like to know of any secure sites(spyware free) were I can go study up on how to tweak my computer for best performance? Does anybody have any advice on what I should do to tweak my computer? Next, I need some good anti virus software. I am willing to spend up to a 100$. I don't know if it is simply between Norton and Macifee? What is the difference between Norton Antivirus software and Norton Systems Works? Last I heard that SP 2 causes problems to your system and it doesn't work well with the 64 bit systems unless you know how to config it right. If this is true could I please get some advice and help on SP 2? How to config it and is it worth having?
 
Antivirus - Kaspersky or F-Secure, it takes them 6 and 8 hours respectively to get an update for a new virus. It is about 27 hours for Norton.

You also need a firewall. I would opt for a free version of Sygate.
 
I'd get the Symantec Client Security pack (NOT the Norton Internet Security pack) as it combines a good firewall with Symantec AV 9 Corporate.

cheers,

dave
