Safe surfing the first step to computer saftey...

Safe Surfing is the best way to prevent viruses before they become an issue on your computer. Phishing is the best way to get stuck with a Trojan or random virus you may not even know you have yet. It can be any site that you can click on even a news site that can grab your computer and tear the place up.
So before the virus gets to you I suggest grabbing a better protected browser!
Here's my list
Google Chrome
FireFox/Mozilla
Opera


Now with Firefox they have some nice add-ons that you can have your own design to make the browser nice looking as well as anti-phishing like ad-block and no script that you can add in to your browser and see what is being blocked and continue to block ads that can be considered a danger to your computer if clicked. You can find theses on the Mozilla privacy and security page found here.
Opera also has these same extensions and add-ons with a few extra's like Opera Mail and some browsers that you can have on your smart phones(you can get viruses on those as well) and all of the information on those extensions can be found here.
Google Chrome has these same features and they can be seen here in detail.
Just remember safe surfing is happy surfing!!!
