The Windows Club is a very good resource site.. for all stuff Windows.

They do miss the first and most important thing to do: Create a “Guest Account” without Administrator privileges and work/surf from that account.

I wish the_Monk would write what he said he would about securing your computer as he does have a really good understanding of the subject… and how much you can really accomplish without using software.

Well, until he does this article http://www.thewindowsclub.com/secure-windows (for W7 and W8) should help a bit.

Also, this article about malware removal is very good, and should be read (along with its links) and should be saved, because it will  happen: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/malware-removal-windows

Hope these will help.
