Spy ware
Spy ware is one of the biggest growing problems with workstations and personal computers that access the Internet. It is usually the reason for sluggish performance and pop-ups. I recommend Lavasofts free (for personal use) utilities.

Internet Explorer / Mozilla Firefox
Although Microsoft has become the dominating web browser with its ease of use and "integration" into the windows platform. I recommend using the Fire fox browser by Mozilla. It is a free open source web browser that is secure, fast and has countless extensions and themes. You will have fewer security problems.
