1.The most important way is , of course, to use an anti-virus that has good detection rate and is kept regularly updated. Good doesn't necessarily mean Norton and McAfee. There are many free anti-viruses, which are pretty decent too.
2.Never download anything suspicious from file sharing networks, like Kazaa, Limewire etc.
3.Never open suspicious mails. Mails sent to Yahoo and AOL email addresses are scanned by anti-virus software, but there is a good chance that it might miss out that particular virus.
4.To make things sure, scan your computer once every 5-10 days for viruses.
