    I always load my systems with:

    Spybot S&D
    Spywareblaster
    Adaware

    All are free and great working in conjunction with one another. Obviously don't forget your virus and firewall protection :)

    Ahh yes I too use Firefox (never will use IE again).

    I also use Nod32 for virus and Zonelabs (for Vista) for firewall.

    How would I go about viewing the performance of my computer such as the CPU? Is it in the control panel somewhere?

    I don't have my laptop on me (so going off of memory) but it's in the Control Panel. There's a section to see System performance. In there there is a link to see your scores and a link to re-run the performance test.
