I agree, good safe pratices are the way to go.  

Since late last year when I got my new XP pc I have networked it to my 98SE pc and the internet comes through that one so it kinda acts as a firewall (according to my IT studies last year the best firewall is an old pc/os - not sure about that one but you wouldn't think they'd teach us that if untrue).  I use avg, ad-aware and spyware search and destroy and update files every time I go online if they are available - I never have my outlook express set to show emails and scan everything that I download and even scan all discs that come on reputable PC magazines as I had a disc try to unload a trojan when I was browsing it a couple of years ago - avg free picked it up :)

Becki :)
