Anti-Virus - Norton
Spyware - Ad-Aware
Firewall - Zone Alarm (when I need to leave the computer for over five minutes and not downloading anythng, I use the 'lock' feature)
Windows Updates
Never open e-mails from people I do not know
Never accept Instant Messaging from people I do not know (also for IM, use Trillian, much stable and more secure)
Stay away from 'bad' sites (they have server side includes working behind the scenes trying to download 'time bombs' to self-activate behind the scenes)
I also use e-dexter to block adservers and can customize the list with new adservers I discover)
