There are a few advices that can help you to decrease a chance of getting a virus:
1. Don't visit unsafe sites. To best determine what site is dangerous, download a WOT on mywot.com or Mcafee Site Advisor on siteadvisor.com (both are free).
2. Don't download files from sites that you don't trust.
3. Get an antivirus software. I will recommend Avast!, Kaspersky, Norton or Avira because they have a good detection. Some of them have free editions, for example Avast! and Avira, but remember that free edition usually have got less better detection than professional editions.
4. Turn on a pop-up blocker in your browser.
5. Configure your browser's security options. In IE8 you also has got a Protected mode, which will block most viruses and SmartScreen Filter which will check files you're downloading and tell you about phishing sites.
6. Don't use IE6. It's not safe and you will soon get viruses, adware, spyware or Trojan horses. Download IE7, IE8 or Mozilla Firefox instead.
