Common sense

Common sense, don't download any suspicious files. Also a basic knowlege of how a computer and malware works. A WPA/WPA2 Encrypted wi-fi connection.
And of course a good anti-virus program and(I'm using Avast).

I still stand by my favorite of

1. Don't go online in windows unless you can not avoid it.
2. Don't visit porn sites in windows at all.
3. Don't torrent unless it is a certified way to get it, like with crunchbang or CAE Linux.
4. Get a Linux and use it to browse the web.
5. Do not store unencrypted personal information like bank #s, SSN, birth date, mothers maden name, and so forth. It can actually help to encrypt the whole drive, as it makes it harder for any maleware you do get to access the info.

Noooooooooooo why is XP only 31.4% in 2012. ?!!!!
You bastards!I bet someone payed you to write that down:D
LoL:D

Kinda hard to believe actually.Every single computer I see at home users,hospitals,schools,stores,movies,companies...etc...STILL use Windows XP lol.So if all that is 31.4%,where the hell is the remaining 68.6% lol?

I would say that Windows XP is still the most used OS and will be for years to come.:)

I have been using Comodo Internet Security (Free version) since it came out.
Just un-check using their cloud based server for more privacy and if you are using the cloud base server it may stop you from some sites like porn etc.
Also un-install Geek Buddy as it runs at start-up.
Also look out for where you un-check it to avoid the added tool bars.
I have never caught a virus with it.
I like the fact that it is all from the same company so it all runs well together as a package.
It will alert you if something wants to install itself and ask you what you want to do before a nasty installs itself, even when using XP.
It is highly rated (always at the top of the test lists).
But everyone has their own opinion and favorite.
