It is a good idea to have antivirus software. Especially when there's all those crazy worms and shit out there that turn your computer into a zombie for some jackass to use for attacking servers or sending out dickpill spam. I encountered conficker by just plugging in a friends usb drive, so antivirus is a good thing to have. Spyware is not a huge issue if you're not installing bullshit

also theres not reason not to get antimalware stuff like spybot/ad-aware, since they are generally on-demand scanners (unlike antivirus which monitors all filesystem/network activity in real-time) and wont impact performance. firewalls are almost always completely worthless.

yeah unless you are using like NORTON CORPORATE or something like that, an anti-virus program won't do anything to the performance of your computer, and its kind of dumb based on this to not have one then. Even if you're smart enough to avoid spy-ware, every once and a while you get some anways, so it is nice to have a program around to sweep up the mess on the few chances that you would have to do some cleaning around the corners anyways.

I love Tweak XP, gives you very fine control over not only Xp interface, but many performance increasing tweaks like system caching and such.

Kaspersky and Webroot Spy Sweeper, works hand in hand, and really that's essentially what is needed.. except for some great flash drive viruses.. you should learn how to clean them manullay.
