NOD32 version 2.7 was good, but all versions since are notably slower and more bloated. Version 4 is automatically antivirus AND antispyware with no option to turn off the antispyware.
I tried Avira Personal (free) and then ponied up for Premium. On sale, it cost $22CAD. Cheap, effective and light on resources.
While Windows (XP) will not have drivers for everything with the base install, it has never failed to install on whatever machine I've tried. It also BOOTS.
Ubuntu, unfortunately, will not start on my main system (because of SATA DVD?) without adding "irqpoll" to the boot params and it did take me a second computer and a while to find that crucial bit of info.
This is exactly the sort of thing that gives most people the screaming heebie jeebies.
Actually, ZFS really IS that impressive. Almost platter speed using the equivalent of raid-6 without a hardware raid controller. It's not perfect, but in my testing, it has performed extremely well.
How do you get 1.4TB/s with only 138 drives? Even if you have hundreds of gigabit switches, the drives collectively are nowhere near that aggregate throughput.

Sounds like it's time for a "nuke and pave". SP3 is just as stable as SP2.
Cyber zombies! "Braaains..."
What they really mean when they say that:
"Try flipping the batteries the other way around."
That's it. My computer is not "lost"; it is merely "unlocated".
Whoosh ...

I hope it was under warranty. "Fedex? I've got a package for you..."
