Security II, Internet Security I

Your browser is hopefully is at its best security and performance level; which is a really great start, but having a secure browser is much different to be safe at what you're doing on the internet.
Anti Virus program is not enough for your protection; you do need anti-spyware and internet security program since majority of your work is being done online. A great program can be purchased or be download as a demo-ware from Norton Website; it also comes with a gadget that gives you all of the sites reputation and protects you from unknown, and potentially harmful scripts.

Having an anti-spyware/adware is only part of being protected; it's  really based upon your actions that if your system becomes a infected victim or not. Here's some tips of basic that can  help you for a kick-start:
  • There are plenty of Java update fake ware through out the internet, most likely in illegal sites. Do not install them; your computer it self notifies you if there's any update not a random site on the internet. Installing them can be a result of exploit and a backdoor system will be installed in your computer.
  • When you're downloading a program from a third party site, there are probably many adds telling you to download here, but there are most likely a scam, which could bombard you with tons of ads. The Download link is likely a direct link in these sites, than a huge button telling you to click here.
