Just avoid downloading junk that comes in email or programs like limewire,kazaa etc I have not really had any problems with virus but spyware ph god. I think you develop a knack for it fast. I suggest you get LAvasoft's Adaware (free) and AVG anti virus(free) both from download.com RUn scans like once a week.

Well, you have a wide variety of antiviruses of different flavors and prices. Norton, McAfee and others all have fee-based subscriptions. However, if you're o.k. with a free version, Grisoft has a decent one available called AVG. Below is the link to download.

You can buy Norton Antivirus.. Personally I think it's the best... But then again, you can't really prevent viruses... Unless you have a Mac.
