    Ok, my girlfriend just got me a new computer, and it came with windows vista, anyways I was just wondering if there was any good (and free)spyware/malware checker/remover. I've seen a few stuff on the web, but before I download any stuff like that I always come here for the answers. So anyone with any tips, or knows of where I can get some good programs let me know. It'd be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Zero, I really appreciate it. I just got Assassins Creed, so I'll be playing that mostly :) soon as I get a minute, I'll check all that out, and post back the results. Thanks again.
