Opera+hardware firewall+NAV2003+Anti-spyware trap+COMMON SENSE = SAFETY.

Your first step is getting off IE and onto Opera. Firefox is just as retarded as IE in allowing web sites to take over your box in many instances. Second is get behind a damn hardware firewall. Next get a solid virus/exploit web trap that works on all browser platforms and is self updating.
I'm using a NAT firewall, software firewall, Firefox, an e-mail client that only recieves text, and some other security programs that run in the background. Sure I could still have problems but I easily avoid the most common ones.

The worst thing I see is when people allow others to use their machines. 15 minutes later and the thing is flooded with spyware and adware. Windows right out of the box is just dangerous.
