I have. Norton Commander and Norton Utilities for DOS were both excellent.

&gt; Spybot and AdAware have both been mentioned, as has the Norton Suite. 
&gt; i'm an advocate for Spybot and AdAware, but against all things Norton; i
&gt; have never had a good experience with any Norton product.  There are
&gt; plenty of free anti-virus offerings that are not only comparable, but
&gt; arguably better. i install AntiVir (www.free-av.com) on the machines of
&gt; those i help, but that's just personal preference.
&gt; 
&gt; i also strongly recommend Kerio Personal Firewall 2.14; there are newer
&gt; versions available, but i don't think they're as good as 2.14.  i'll let
&gt; you make your own call on that (though if you can't find it elsewhere, i
&gt; have a copy of 2.14).
&gt; 
&gt; you'll also want JavaCool's SpywareBlaster, which blocks known activex
&gt; problems.
&gt; 
&gt; a good hosts file, complete with windows installer, is available here:
&gt; <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.everythingisnt.com/hosts.html";>http://www.everythingisnt.com/hosts.html</a>, and is updated fairly
&gt; regularly.
&gt; 
&gt; it's also good to keep in mind that using the regedt32 tool (not
&gt; regedit, the other one), you can make registry keys read-only, which can
&gt; be a great preventative measure.
&gt; 
&gt; Spoofstick (<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.spoofstick.com/";>http://www.spoofstick.com/</a>) anti-phishing extension for
&gt; Firefox, and also a bayesian Firefox porn filter (not really
&gt; anti-spyware, but a good idea regardless):

&gt; 
&gt; i'm not sure if Yahoo's talk feature is available from 3rd party
&gt; clients, but i feel it's definitely worth investigating, as both
&gt; Trillian and Gaim have a much better history than Aol's clients; i don't
&gt; know if Yahoo's clients have been as bad.
&gt; 
&gt; i can't think of anything else at the moment, but those are at least
&gt; most of the steps i usually go through for windows users
