Avast is not good anymore (IMO). I like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira.

Use antispyware softwares, scan once/twice a week.

Default Windows firewall with router hardware firewall.

Don't open email that advice on how to increase your ******* and try not to go to those sites. And thats enough.

The paid version of Avira has one of the highest detection rates
