The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Oc, I agree. However, like Disavowed I try to keep my PC as clean as possible to prolong the eventual wipe and reinstall. Right before my recent wipe I tried a new tool that you get for free by downloading it as part of the Google Pack (beta). I think it was called PC Doctor...? I found it way too resource intensive. Had to uninstall. I eventually went back to Spybot S&D and Adaware, which I've been using for years. I also added AVG anti-spyware and AVG anti-rootkit to give them a whirl.

Spybot and Adaware have been the core of my defense for quite a while. I started using AVG for anti-virus about a year ago, but it's never found a single thing (not that its inept, but I don't think viruses are a big problem for me).

I'd say those tools will keep you clean for as long as you can reasonably expect anything to keep you clean.
