Ok I formatted both my hard drives and installed windows xp professional with sp2 on my 76 gb 7,200 rpm hard drive which is drive D:\ and left my 34 gb 10,000 rpm hard drive blank (drive C:\). I installed all the drivers from my motherboard cd, all the updates at windowsupdate.microsoft.com, ati driver for my video card, and a couple of programs on drive D:\ including: AVG anti-virus free edition 7.1, Microsoft AntiSpyware, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, and all plugins for Firefox including Realplayer, WMP 10, shockwave, flash, adobe reader 7.0, java, and quicktime.
So, so far I'm using on drive D:\ for anti-malware (76 gb 7,200 rpm hd with windows XP pro sp2, ntfs file system):
Microsoft AntiSpyware
AVG anti-virus free 7.1
Microsoft Firewall
Is that good enough to stop most threats? And what should be loaded at start up, both Microsoft AntiSpyware and AVG anti-virus?
I dunno what to do with the other hard drive (34 gb 10,000 rpm hd with no OS, ntfs file system). I was planning on putting all my games on there since it runs faster than my 7,200 rpm hd. My friend said that I should put Slackware Linux OS on it, should I?
Anyway here's my HJT log:
