I'm sure there's a pun about making regular backups here somewhere :)

By the way I used a download manager to make sure it wouldn't just die on me during transfer lol
On the slow down front, if you look at task manager are any processes running away with the RAM or CPU time? Could just be a system file that failed to copy over correctly.
Its working now

To stop virus you need a anti virus such as norton windows doesnt have one built in, even if they did it would be stupid as (for reasons i cant be borthed to explain here) it would mean microsoft releasing software to defeat there own bugs etc etc

Its basically saying that it has picked up Norton AV but the Security Centre is not monitoring it.

Both good, use both in case one doesn't catch all of them. Also learn how spy ware gets into the computer and what it does to help prevent it in the first place ;)
