Have an antivirus product, and a subscription to keep it current.
Apply all critical patches from update.microsoft.com
use a firewall, personal, or as part of your broadband connection.
Get another web browser (Mozilla, Opera, FIrefox) for dat-to-day use.
Use Internet Explorer only for hitting update.microsoft.com for updates.
Use an email client other than Outlook/outlook express.
You might have sypware get SyyBot and run it.
