Check out http://www.gamingg.net/whyfirefox
Firefox is a safer browser than Internet Explorer and, when coupled with a good anti-virus program, will help protect your computer from viruses and other mal-ware.

First of all, always keep your Windows up to date. Use this website: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com (it will only work if you have a legal/genuine copy of windows, in other words if you paid for it at a shop)
Use "Firefox" (from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/) instead of Internet Explorer, then install these extensions: (search for them at: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions.php?app=firefox)
"NoScript" (once installed, only allow script when the site that is asking to run script matches the website you are viewing at that moment)
"Cookiesafe" (use it the same way as NoScript, only allow cookies from the site you are viewing, and only if you trust that site)
Then install McAfee siteadvisor (from http://www.siteadvisor.com) it puts a little green tick next to safe sites in google and a red cross next to bad/unsafe sites which have viruses and spyware (don't go to the red ones). This will stop a lot of the bad stuff because you won't even go to the websites that have viruses!
Then install the free AVG antivirus (if you don't want to pay, usually paid is better, but the free one is better than nothing) from here http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-virus-free and if you run Windows, click where it says avg75free_432a904.exe
To clean your computer from other stuff (spyware, advertising), use 'ad-aware' and 'spybot s&d' you can find them through google, just copy and paste the names into google and you'll find them.
That should keep your computer much safer.

use an antivirus software so that it scans all files as soon as you download them

use FDM, it displays alerts added by other users before you download a file

associate the antivirus program with FDM so that it will run a virus scan after download

ActiveX and Java are the two infamous for viruses. If the ActiveX isn't signed by using Microsoft (your browser exams in the previous downloading) then your browser settings or very own firewall settings could be blocking off it.
