Most of us have all realized that virus's do suck and have invested in good antivirus programs.
If you manage to catch a virus quick deleting it also helps 
Things to do:
- Buy AntiVirus Software
- Learn how to catch and stop virus's(I've caught and deleted about 5 so far on my machine in a few months)
- MAKE BACKUPS FREQUENTLY!
If you manage to do those virus's won't be a problem.
Oh ya and its always a good idea to only download trusted files...

ya! ya! ya! I use AVG from Grisoft and i have antispyware things that i buyed with it (failure happened in mid august)

That may be why your computer died... AVG isn't good at all compared to NOD32. Although AVG is free, NOD32 caught A LOT that AVG missed in my experience.

I format my Windows partition on my HDD and reinstall on a regular basis. Beats paying for a antivirus scanner anyday. =o

I also use NOD32. Well worth it in my mind.

Norton Anti-virus Corporate Edition is the ultimate way to go. No, I did not download it, I have it legally.
|
Norton Internet Security 2004 Professional came with my computer. The only good thing about it is the anti-virus. Use Sygate for your firewall.

Mine doesn't have firewall, it's corporate. I don't even need a firewall, I have a router.

A router doesn't check outgoing traffic a Software firewall does.
A router is a good way to protect against/most worms/trojans. But then again if you download a file with a botnet in it your router probably wont do shit.
If you want to be 100% safe get both.
Nod32 is fairly good scanner seeing that it is light, and it catches most virusses. AVG isn't that good besides that it's free. Norton I wouldn't even consider that crap.
Also UPDAting windows reguarly is a important thing people seem to forget.
