    I also uninstalled the wow software and Installed Hw Monitor, CPU-Z and GPU-Z. What are the latest nVidia drivers? I have 176.xx installed.

    Latest drivers are 180.43 at laptopvideo2go.com

    About the anti-virus, I wouldn't recommend anti-virus if you know what you are doing, because it just becomes bloatware if you know how to avoid viruses or you know how to get rid of viruses manually. Just don't download exe files off limewire and check the comments of torrents before you get them. If you're worried about spyware, you can get noscript addon for firefox. If that doesn't catch everything, you can have spybot on the side with teatimer and that other thing that runs in the background turned OFF.
