I would also recommend switching to forefox after you have cleaned any spyware/malware etc.

Or turn your seurity settings up full on IE. this may limit some of the features on some websites but it will make you a little bit safer.

You can always add trusted sites if you are sure they are ok..

Although, more vulnerabilities were found in the last half of last year in Firefox than Opera.
