Viruses

STEVEN:

> and buy a virus detector - and keep it updated

I'll second that. And don't just keep it updated: be paranoid about
updating it. New viruses appear almost every day, and it is the viruses
that your virus detector doesn't recognize that are going to infect
your machine.

In addition, installing a firewall, such as zone alarm, might be a good
idea, to prevent worms, such as Opaserv, from entering your machine.
(I've seen this virus being caught by a virus detector as soon as the
machine was connected to the internet, so this is no exaggeration!)
