Rafi,
I don't use Ubuntu (I use Kubuntu) so a lot of my experience is likely to be
irrelevant to your problem.

Did you install this as a clean system or as a replacement for your old (Mint
I think) installation? If so, was it a *really* clean install or did you have
your /home directory on a separate partition and point Ubuntu to it?
I've had issues in the past where I tried re-use my home partition and
'inherited' some nasty problems. It shouldn't happen if you do a clean
install of a later version of the same distro, but could well be problematic
if you are installing Ubuntu over a Mint system.

I can't help on Ubuntu Tweaks, but I generally use ClamAV for antivirus.
Of course there are few Linux viruses as yet, but it does help to avoid
passing on viruses to Windows users :-)
