Important: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer regularly to protect your computer from the malware and other security threats that are on the Internet. Go to Microsoft Windows Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and get all critical updates.
If you are running any Microsoft Office version go to the Office Update (http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=ES790020331033&CTT=96&Origin=CL100570421033) site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.

Make sure all of your security programs are up to date and run scans with them regularly. Once or twice a week minimum.
Here are some great FREE tools to help you keep from getting infected again. These tools use little or no resources so won't slow down your PC.
To prevent unknown applications from being installed on your computer install WinPatrol 2008 (http://www.winpatrol.com/winpatrol.html)

Another thing I would suggest installing SiteAdvisor (http://www.siteadvisor.com/). SiteAdvisor rates sites on business practices and spam.
SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) - Secure your Internet Explorer to make it harder for these ActiveX programs to run on your computer. Also stop certain cookies from being added to your computer when running Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.
