So many questions on here are caused by Windows being a lame operating system. There is an alternative - at least for surfing and e-mail - Linux, which is totally immune to Windows viruses, malware, spyware and all the rest. In fact, Linux is so secure that it's 100% safe to run it without ANY security software apart from a firewall. Your PC will also run faster as it is not being slowed down by Norton/McAfee etc.
The new distributions, such as Mandriva, are excellent and easy to use. In Mandriva I watch DVD movies with perfect quality and sound, listen to my fave MP3s and CDs, upload with built-in FTP, surf safely and securely in Firefox 1.5
Linux is much faster to install than Windows. Does Linux have problems? Yes - mainly with hardware compatibility, but only because hardware manufacturers haven't written Linux drivers. So have a box running Windows if you like, but NEVER let it connect to the web. Get a dedicated Linux box for the web - it's like surfing in a tank!
