I'm sure this varies quite a bit depending upon a number of factors but I'm wondering what some good rules of thumb are for protecting and optimizing one's system (I'm running windows xp on a thinkpad t43). For example:

Run adaware programs 1x/month
Run full virus scan 1x/week
Back up computer 1x/week
Run disk defrag 2x/week
etc.

I'm sure those numbers are off but I'm looking for a good list of suggested actions that I can program as tasks into outlook (or auto-schedule) to put this stuff on relative auto-pilot. Any suggestions?
