NOD32 version 2.7 was good, but all versions since are notably slower and more bloated. Version 4 is automatically antivirus AND antispyware with no option to turn off the antispyware. I tried Avira Personal (free) and then ponied up for Premium. On sale, it cost $22CAD. Cheap, effective and light on resources.

Sounds like it's time for a "nuke and pave". SP3 is just as stable as SP2.

Cyber zombies! "Braaains..."

What they really mean when they say that:
"Try flipping the batteries the other way around."

That's it. My computer is not "lost"; it is merely "unlocated".
