Guys, let me give you the best advise you can ever get:

Decline all email with attachments.
Don't download "demo" software without a major virus check
Anything that is free is being paid for somehow
Keep your windows machine 100% up to date, run the windows update regularly
run adaware or similar every morning, and keep those up to date.
delete those annoying hosts file, nobody really needs it.
connect to the internet only via a HARDWARE firewall
install and use a popup blocker (the google toolbar one isn't bad)
turn on prompt for cookies, and start blocking everything you don't 100% need.

It won't solve all your problems, but you won't have as many either.
