Windows Solutions:
Run a good firewall. Windows XP and Vista & windows 7 have a built in firewall. Also, it's a good idea to have a hardware firewall, such as a router.
Run virus protection and keep it updated. Anti-Virus programs are only as good as the last update. (Also update Windows regularly.)
Run a good antispyware program such as Spybot Search & Destroy or SUPERAntiSpyware.
A lot of anti-malware is common sense -- Stay away from porno or warez and scan email attachments and downloads.
If you do get a virus -- Don't panic. That's the worst thing you can do.
Happyhot970:AVG is a good tracker for email virus scan your computer every day now to beware black outs from your computer
Make sure that if you are running in a network environment keep the sharing and permission specific for users , so that viruses will not be able to enter to that share folder.

∙ 11y agoTo avoid getting viruses, don't download anything that is labeled "free" as it could be a free virus. Don't go on the sites the people who do this on youtubers' sites (pewdiepie, Tobygames, etc.); @thfere Yeah I blah blah blah this site has blah blah. Don't go on sites that say "You're to 100 visitor!You win free stuff that is a virus! YAAY!(it would actually say you win a gift card...) " Run your virus scanner every 5 or 6 weeks, after downloading, and after you've been attacked by a virus.
