One technique I haven't seen mentioned,
perhaps because everyone does it, is
to set up another sign on without
administrative capabilities.
Whenever I use my e-mail or browser client,
I Log Off my administrative sign on, and
Log On to my non-administrative sign on.
It's a bit of a pain, but can prevent
malware from modifying your system.
I also use Mozilla Firefox instead of
Internet Explorer. In Firefox, you can
turn off Java script, image downloading,
pop-ups, etc, and it has no Direct-X.
For sites that insist on requiring Java script,
I use the NoScript Firefox add-on. It will
prompt me whether to allow Java script for
any particular web site. NoScript can easily
allow sites you approve to always allow Java.
The Firefox FlashBlock add-on prompts you
before running any Flash. It stops that
vulnerability and is great for stopping
those twitching ads.
Another add-on is Web Of Trust (WOT). It
puts up amber and red flags on sites that
have problems reported. But, I digress.
