For an antivirus check out Microsoft Security Essentials. Always does the job for me, never bothers me unless something is actually wrong (so not too often) and it's very lightweight. Best of all, it's free. http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ Of course before you install anything, run the Decrapifier first. It will clean out any crapware which comes preinstalled on your Dell, and contains useful information about each program it marks as junk (in case you disagree or have no clue what something does). Also free. http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/ As for your music, copy your entire music folder to the desktop, install 7Zip (free as well), and compress the heck out of it into a .7z file. You'll need to install 7Zip on your other computer as well to decompress everything, but it'll make the file transfer go faster. To actually transfer the file, look into a transfer cable or just a large flash drive (1.5k songs is about 6GB I think). http://www.7-zip.org/ Actually the 7Zip program contains an option to split the compressed file into pieces designed for floppies (bad choice), CD's, or DVD's. So, if you own a CD or DVD burner you could do that, burn the files to discs, and transfer them that way to save buying a cable. Over all, good luck, and have fun with that quad core CPU. It's ridiculous. :thumbsup:
