I cannot begin to describe how important securing your computer(s) are. If you like to play in the Internet play ground, it's a great chance you have been infected with a variant before, whether it's a virus, spyware or a worm its all a problem. So hers is a few utilities you should not be without..
1st. A Firewall,
A good firewall should not let any unauthorized parties in or let software on your system to connect out without you knowing. Windows ( xp and Vista) comes with a decent built in firewall but a lot of users prefer to use a third party software to guard their system. Either way YOU NEED ONE!

Some of the popular were zonealarm ZONEALARM have a free version, and COMODO is completely free (WHICH IS FREE) and KASPERSKY have a good firewall also
2ND AN ANTI VIRUS,
A good antivirus should notice and stop any attempt of a virus or worm from installing on your computer system. Below are a few trusted Antivirus among many ..
Some of the popular are NORTAN ANTIVIRUS , AVG AND AVAST(I recommend avast to my clients who are looking for a free AV )but BOTH ARE FREE!KASPERSKY HAS A GOOD (NOT FREE) FIREWALL ALSO.
Other security measures some computer users use are SPYWARE removal and prevention software. Windows vista has a built in utility called WINDOWS DEFENDER.
LAVASOFT have a free version also.
