I've been a mac user since '84 and began gaming on a bootcamp build of WinXP 32. Got so into it that I built a killer gaming system and am running Vista home prem64.

As a mac user the various virus and infections out there on the net were no worry--- nobody was really targeting macs (though that is changing)

Now that I've seen the light and I'm loving every minute of PC computing (esp. gaming) I'm wondering....

1) What, in addition to Vista protocols (defender) and AVG free do I need in order to keep my system safe

2) What essentials should I back up to a flash drive in order to be ready for a rebuild after an attack
