    CCleaner for cleaning up temp, junk, and registry files. Anti-virus, I use Avira. To uninstall the junkware I'd recommend Revo Uninstaller. Also take a look at the guide in the main Dell forum to tweak Vista.

    CCleaner for cleaning up your computer (the actual name is Crap Cleaner for a reason :D) and Ad-aware for removing spyware.
