The best protection sits inside your head. Don't visit questionable sites. Don't have all and every activeX and Java switched on. Keep Explorer settings as tight as possible. then even a free Firewall like zonealarm is sufficient. Mybe I am paranoic, but I serve quite a lot - the reward is I have less than 2-3 alarms from system scanning per year - with IE and OE! They are better than their reputation - if not being used in a silly way (all open).

I might add that I have found it very reliable and easy to create a new user profile in Win XP with very limited rights (Guest user) just to browse in internet. Mine is called "Internet User" and when I run it -like right now- I'm not allowed by the system to delete/change/install anything, no matter what I do. I just can browse and download files, but that's it.
