You can do the following:
* if you're on a high speed connection (not dialup) get a router to go between your PC and your network connection; this stops any incoming connections unless you ask for them.
* install Zonealarm or similar firewall software on your machine.
* get Adaware, Spybot, and Spyware Blaster and use them regularly.
* get a good free antivirus software and set daily autoupdates.
* get rid of Internet Exploiter and Outhouse and install Firefox and Thunderbird for browsing and mail.
* visit Windows Update regularly and make sure all security updates are applied.
Or, you could switch to Linux or Mac and not worry about any of this stuff any more.
