I have installed Avast.

What other protection do you reccomend I need, to help prevent future problems.

Thanks for helping me.

Hi,

Having a couple of antispyware scanners would be good too. For example Spybot and MBAM.

Also, I recommend to install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI). That helps to detect vulnerable programs and get those patched. Most infections exploit existing vulnerabilities to sneak into system. When system is fully patched risk of getting infected is lower.
