Using a firewall, antivirus software, and spyware checking are all prudent.

So is securing your browser. An easy way to do this is to use Firefox with the default security settings. Let's not make this a holy war, folks, I have no grudge with Microsoft, I also know Mozilla has been caught with their pants down. But as far as making it easy for people by using a browser that by default is more secure, Firefox wins.

I agree; I should have thought to mention that, myself. Not to mention that Mozilla is a lot quicker to respond to newly discovered exploits than Microsoft.
