I haven't had any virus or spyware problems on my PC, but that's because I'm super paranoid and have multiple programs running in the background. It's good to know that I can be a bit less cautious about these things now! :) I'll need an anti-virus program to access my uni's wireless and they offer a really ucky version of Norton, so I'll have to dig around for an alternative.

There are programs to burn discs on the PC, but they seem to be for music CDs and video DVDs whereas I just want to burn data files. So, yeah, Mac wins on that one. ;)
