All you really need are a pop-up blocker (Firefox has one built-in that is

decent anti-virus program (AVG Free does a decent job and also detects
many types of malware), and HijackThis, which is a Windows utility to help
find things that have installed themselves into places like the Windows
registry.

All you really need is to secure the machine and install a firewall for
the internet connections that filters crap out of HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3,
FTP sessions and 99% of the Windows people will be free from trouble.
