Only problem was that the last time I needed to buy a new computer when our old one completely died, was right after paying taxes so I could only afford a Dell PC with Windows. I will definitely be considering a Mac the next time I purchase a new computer, though.

I own PCs, work on one and have worked in IT for over a decade. I've used all the AV/Spyware/Malware apps you mentioned and you did the right thing. But being on a Mac, I'm 99% immune to any of these time-wasting issues. And I'm not limited to the "Mac Only" or "Macs don't run the software I need" arguments. I run Windows through Parallels and can access Windows apps whenever I need to. That is the best strategy that I could offer to completely side-step the time sink that Windows users suffer at the hand of viruses, spyware and malware.

This kind of thing is the specific reason I switched to the Mac. Windows programs are better in some ways, but so far I haven't had to jump through these crazy-making hoops again, or be put through the anguish of watching my system collapse before my eyes. Again. I'm sure that won't last forever, but several years of freedom from that sort of harassment have been totally worth it.
