Honestly, you really need to try and break away from IE... it is more or less the highway for most malware to a computer. Chrome, Firefox, Opera.... There's choices out there. No matter what browser you use however, you gotta pay attention.
There's always the option of learning a new OS. I don't know what all you use your computer for, but setting up a dual boot system w/ Linux is pretty simple.. and for general web surfing, facebook, youtube, etc.. it'll more than suffice. It's also nice because you can download it to a flash drive and try it... and if you don't like it, you simply reboot, remove the flash drive, and you're back at Windows as if nothing had happened.
Been Windows free for almost 8yrs, wouldn't change it for a second. I feel lost when I use a Windows desktop now days.
