If you are using MS Internet Explorer--especially if it's an older version--consider using something else. Computers running IE are typically a target for viruses. Consider using another browser such as FireFox.
Also have a good Firewall and Antivirus running. The ones built-in to Microsoft are okay, but there are a number of free ones that are superior.
