Just don't use IE, unless you have to. For example MS update site and even some of the online virus scan sites won't work unless you use IE, but for most web surfing use a different browser to help protect from malware being downloaded without you knowing. I think Outlook Express is also dangerous, but can't ween you from everything at once :). I have been a diehard IE user since a couple weeks ago. Firefox is the first non IE browser I have used myself since some ISP software I used about 4 years ago used Netscape 4.something...Once you get your puter disinfected make sure you put a little work (almost daily) to clean out the malware. It is easier then waiting to remove the stuff when the computer grinds to a halt.
