its always smart to do things like turn off popups, set your browser AX controls restrictive, and don't download just because it "looks ok". Also remember - the windows security center will NOT EVER tell you to download new, non-microsoft products. It can remind you that your AV is out of date and should be updated, it can advise you that your OS has patches and such it should have - but these are reminders only, and are only relevant to programs you have already installed.
A side note on Symantec / Norton - their writups on security hazards are excellent. However their home protection software has become bloatware - which is sad. If their AV was not so resource intensive as it has become - then they would have remained at the top of the market.
They remain a powerful and very useful tool in enterprise situations however.
