The ONLY thing I've used on the new PC that was hooked up on the old one is my Speaker/Subwoofer set. No software on those puppies.
My new HP is an all-in-one... came with its own keyboard/mouse as well. So this is as much of a fresh start as I can imagine.

AVG & Malwarebytes are avaible at download.com
This would be a good start...
***oh one more TuneUp Utilities 2009 - GREAT program and you can get it for free to use for 30 days. (also at download.com)
Is download.com a very reputable site? I did a lot of stupid stuff on my old Dell. Six years of being negligent and browsing in all the wrong places. I was playing Russian Roulette with that joker.
This new one, though... it's my baby. I want to do everything right to protect it and keep it running in tip-top shape. I'm even scared to go on some music hosting sites now... imeem, etc.
Here's a pic of my new unit:
