Or at least in the next few days.
1. Do a backup.
Do a virus/spyware scan, then do a Backup.
If you don't have a backup system, at least use CDRs.
Or get a backup system.
2. Make a Restore Point.
If your system is too old to have this built-in, get Norton GoBack.
I've seen way too many people hurt lately by the torture if dying computers.
Please. You'll be glad you did.
*winghugs to those in need*.

Newer systems have a good built-in solution, which just needs to be turned on. *peep* With HUGE hard drives these days and larger RAM defaults, the system resource drains are less of a bother anymore, luckily *wags feathers*...
I found that DriveImage2002 is awwwesome for doing backup-restore CDs too.
Other items that I find essential for Windows of late:
SpySweeper
V-Com Utilities
a hardward firewall preferably (usually using LinkSys)
a virus catcher that works (Norton seems to work on less than half the systems I try anymore, since they've been reducing backwards compatibility for a few years, but I hear the 2005 version is an improvement)
Good to hear your system is pretty well secured!
