Hello, As for Antivirus/Firewall I use Norton Internet Security 2010. I know they used to suck, but in 2009 they turned things around. Only bad part is you need to pay yearly subscription. As for Spyware Looks like NIS is doing the job as well. Watches websites and even tells you if the site is

You've probably got it set right but I'd try it at 2.2v or above to get it stable. Unfortunately, most boards that aren't enthusiast expensive seldom go above 2.1v. My board is borderline stable with Corsair 1066 RAM and tops out at 2.1v so I just run it at 800 and it's fine. On 1/4/2010
