I use Firefox with "noscript". Another really nice tool that uses little to no resources is again a Firefox addon done by PCTools. It's called "Browser Defender" There's a thin bar under the normal tool bar that gives the rating of the site. Double click on it and you get more detail. Do a search in google or whatever and each "hit" is rated and you get detail as to the sites safety. Give it a try.
I've been using Linux but am temporarily back to Windows. The one thing I learned from Linux is that you need to take a pro active interest in security like you would in your normal life.
