An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. (Unfortunately this bit of wisdom is coming too late for you, CG.)

I've been happy with McAfee and Ad-Aware (which reminds me, I need to put Ad-Aware on my new laptop). Once your computer is infected, cleaning it off can be a major PITA. The "Anti Virus 2009" virus has been out for a few months, though - I'm surprised the AV programs haven't addressed it adequately.

As for Vista... I cannot stand all those "allow/deny" pop-ups. I can't even do an ipconfig release/renew from the command line without my machine whining that I'm not an administrator. If I get one more pop-up I'm putting Linux on this thing.
