McAfee is a horror show. I've removed it from all my clients' computers.
AVG was good but it started missing some major virii so I pulled it as well.
Avast seems to be doing the best job now on that front.
Spybot and Ad-Aware are nice to add to your arsenal.
As the poster above suggeted, don't use IE. Try Firefox or even better Opera. Both are free now.
Don't forget to use the built in firewall or get ZoneAlarm. The free addition is pretty good.
NB: All the software I've mentioned has good free versions, so use them.
Good luck!
