Shit, your machine must be indestructible! The best antivirus software out there is a program called Nod32. It's not that well known, but i've heard that when running this, it found 12 viruses when Norton found none :-|
Also, just be alert of the msn messenger virus, it's been around for a while, but it's popped up again recently. If any of your contacts sends you an unrecognised file type, don't accept it, unless they are actually sending you something you're expecting.
My friend tried to send me a file named sexy.pif the poor bastard is now infected, he thought he'd deleted it, but it came back.

Microsoft have their own antispy progam.
It is still in the beta test stage, but i think it is pretty good.

Firefox is more reliable than Internet Explorer and here's why:
Why Use Firefox?
?Beware of spyware. If you can, use the Firefox browser.? - USA Today
?Better than Internet Explorer by leaps and bounds.? - FORBES
Popup Blocking
Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker.
Tabbed Browsing
View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them. Find out more...
Privacy and Security
Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.
Smarter Search
Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there is a plethora of other search tools including Smart Keywords (type "dict" in the Location bar), and the new Find bar (which finds text as you type without covering up anything).
Live Bookmarks
RSS integration lets you read the latest news headlines and read updates to your favorite sites that are syndicated. Find out more...
Hassle-Free Downloading
Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.
Fits Like a Glove
Simple and intuitive, yet fully featured, Firefox has all the functions you're used to - Bookmarks, History, Full Screen, Text Zooming to make pages with small text easier to read, etc.
S, M, L or XL?It's Your Choice
Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. Customize your toolbars to add additional buttons, install new Extensions that add new features, add new Themes to browse with style, and use the adaptive search system to allow you to search an infinite number of engines. Firefox is as big or small as you want.
Setup's a Snap
At only 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox takes just a few minutes to download over a slow connection and seconds over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers - so you can start surfing right away.
A Developer's Best Friend
Firefox comes with a standard set of developer tools including a powerful Javascript and CSS error/warning console, and an optional Document Inspector that gives detailed insight about your pages.
Read Mail?Not Spam
Thunderbird is the perfect complement to Firefox.

BUT, some websites aren't compatible with it.
They detect it as an out-of-date version of Netscape, and tell you to update it.
I also can't get Javascript to work for s***, although that might be a problem with my machine :?

Do you have an example of that? I'd like to see that, as I have yet to experience such a thing.

Firefox rox, but keep IE handy for the occasional site that doesn't work properly. Usually it's a Windows Media Player type thing that doesn't work, or a site tells you that you need IE 5 or better, like my uni's website

I have tried using Firefox and have experienced unexpected program terminations so I gave up. Anyone has any ideas why that could have been happening?
Maybe you've installed the beta version instead of the new 1.0 release?
