War Driving or Chalking?
I use, or have available, almost all of the security and drive clutter clearing software mentioned on this thread. What a serious internet-surfer absolutely needs:
AVG Antivirus
Adaware
Spybot
System Security Suite
I also use Add-Remove Pro rather than the Add-Remove in Windows control panel. Tweakui XP is a good one to have, as is Reg Cleaner.
Once a month I run msconfig to keep the start-up programs to a minimum.
With a cable connection running on average at 350kbs, I don't want to see the "hourglass" thingy on my screen at all.
Oh yeah, X Setup... very good.
