my windows machine is pretty virus/spyware/etc free..

-- knock on wood --

for spyware control i use "spybot search and destroy" and "spyware blaster" in combination. both you can find on google for free.

as for the anti-virus software, if you insist on using outlook, you could get motino ( www.motino.com ) but it isn't free.. i believe you get 30 days to try it. I have tried it and it does work really well (infact, the best spam blocker i've ever used.) i don't use it any more though, because i've ditched outlook. way too many virus being sent through e-mail. instead of outlook i run "foxmail": http://fox.foxmail.com.cn/download.htm
it was first written in chinese, but they now have an english version. it's free. it allows you to turn off HTML or show it only if you want it to. it has built in spam protection, but unfortunately it's not as good as motino.

i also run "norton anti-virus corporate edition" with real time file protection enabled -- very good program and a lot less resource intensive than the home/regular editions, but it's far from being free. i don't know of any free virus scanner i'd recommend, but i'd highly suggest obtaining norton corp edition no matter what you must do to get it

wow this was a long post, sorry.
