i am getting a new computer and i have had very bad luck in the past with antivirus and spyware/malware protection. what should i use and do to fix this when i get my new computer?

My personal choices are
From grisoft.com: AVG free(antivirus) and AVG antispyware

from javacoolsoftware: spyware blaster

All of the above are free and low resource users.
I have used this combo on my 3 pc's for 3 years and no intrusions.

The other thing you might consider is if your new pc comes with Norton or Mcafee installed,uninstall them and replace them with the above or something else that might be recommended here by others.

I should have also added that there is a very good "stickey" thread started by Cookiegal at the top of this forum with lots of info about most of the antivirus and antispyware products.
Check it out.
Good luck.
