If you have Windows XP, then for day to day use, use an account which is not an administrator account. When you want to make a change to the pc or install software login using account with an Administrator access (having a password for this account makes it even more secure). This simple change can stop many of viruses. If you have Vista or Windows 7 this is implemented already unless you turn it off in the control panel called User Access control.
If anyone wants step by step instructions let me know.
On Windows 7 I have Microsoft own virus scanner and on XP MacAfee, and router firewall with stateful packet inspection turned on. (On most SPI is set to off, due to performance but generally unnoticeable for internet access) Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto
