I run a full hand of guard programs: AVG anti-virus, Spybot S&D, Adaware
and WinPatrol, which proofs every dll or exec file being installed and
prompts for approval when it sees something not in its knowledge base.
I've had trojan programs sneak in as parts of a zipfile, etc., so it is
not just email that is the risk. (I still use a shell-mode text mail
reader, so no attacks survive that way, at least...)
