most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.
download firefox for free, Just have a try:

In addition to a firewall you must have full time (active) virus protection and full time spyware protection.
All the following programs are free.
---------------------------------------------
Full Time (Active) Virus Protection
If you do not have active virus protection, install only one. All are excellent.
Try AVG first.
AVG Antivirus 7.5 Free Edition

advert-conscious by utilizing Lavasoft is likewise a great software that shops virus and monitoring cookie archives in that's vault, so it knows what to seem for. i take advantage of it, alongside with AVG, and better of all, its unfastened.
