you don't need a virus scanner, you're virtually immune to viruses in Liinux. You also don't need spyware software, as you don't have ActiveX or any of that other stuff to worry about. You're free, my friend

as for software, the closest thing i've found to Dreamweaver, assuiming you primarily use it as a WYSIWYG editor, is Nvu - http://www.nvu.com
if you're a hardcore codre, try Quanta http://quanta.sourceforge.net/ website sucks, but you should be able to find what you need.

i assuming PowerArchiver is something of a "zip" tool? Your distribution should already come with one, probably Ark.

You'll find that most of what you need already comes with your distribution

now, what do you mean by the last softwar you need, get databack from NTFS?

I agree w/ the previous poster that you really don't need anti-virus
on linux. Maybe a firewall (firestrater?)?!? Anyway, here are some
links I picked up throughout the years.

Anti-Virus/Adware/Worms
http://clamav.elektrapro.com/
http://www.hbedv.com
http://www.f-prot.com/products/corporate_users/unix/
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_avg_single.php
http://www.sebastian-geiges.de/tkantivir/index_en.htm
http://www.ravantivirus.com/pages/download.php
http://adblock.mozdev.org
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php

Never used any, so I can't say how good they are
and whether they are appropriate.

p.s. Can't answer about NTFS
