So I see this thread or the threads it points to hasn't been updated since 2005. I'd like to know where you guys are now for anti-virus sugguestions.
How about Registry cleaners?
And lastly System Performance boosters?

Are there any itmes in Spybot I need to disable so as not to slash with Eset NOD32?
Hello tigersmustlive,
There shouldn't be any need, have you experienced issues?
We do have Spybot +AV: http://www.safer-networking.org/

Yes. right after installing Spybot NOD32 wouldn't work. I disabled all of the settings in Spybot that had to do with the internet (I used to use Spybot mainly for immunization and to check for system problems) but that didn't do any good. The NOD32 icon was still in the system tray but the program would not respond. I won't get rid of NOD32 as I've found it to be much more effective then other anti-virus programs I've tested. It's disappointing as I'd been using Spybot since it's inception back in the 90's. But to dump NOD32 in favor of Spybot seems rather foolhardy. Spybot's AV I'm sure is good but it's relatively new and I've seen no reviews about it. I had to uninstall Spybot. All apologies
Hi Crowbar!
Personally, I have nothing commercial software installed at my system (except of very few magazine free offerings and a copy of Ghost for DOS, that I had for free, from Symantec's enhanced testing).
I strongly believe in superiority of Open Source or Freeware programs.
I have AVG (free edition), installed at my system, since its release as freeware (for home users) for Europe. I've excellent impressions of it, and I'm suggesting it to everyone who asking me.
I agree also with Gaming4JC, for CCleaner!
Please also, take a look at Erunt ( http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt ).
Generally, I don't like very much system performance boosters. I prefer to do this job my own with a tweak utility. I like very much the last freeware version of X-Setup ( http://www.321download.com/LastFreeware/page5.html ). Its similar to MS TweakUI, but with much many options (although its somewhat compicated).
Well, GOOD LUCK with your research!!!
