Use Firefox. My dad and sister used to be avid IE users until my sister ran into a bunch of spyware that ultimately led to having to wipe the harddrive on our computer and do a fresh install of Windows. Since I've forced them to use Firefox only, we've had absolutely no problems.
Hell, you don't even need to use Firefox. Just don't use IE.

Anti Spyware
I've been using spybot search and destroy and ad aware and it's been fine for me. All in all, using spybot on its own is probably good enough unless you suspect you have spyware.

Antivirus
I've been using Antivir free edition ever since I reinstalled windows. It's working great.
