    Simple, do not download file from unknown source(P2P, BT, warez...). Use Firefox as your web browser. Use up-to-date antivirus

    For trojan remover, I use Adaware and Spybot S & D. But most of the time we need to manually remove some spywares.
  • well, i use firefox ,opera, maxthon....
    clamwin antivirus
    spybot S&D
