Mozilla firefox or Opera 9
Most people would say FireFox, the reason being that it's still fairly novel.
firefox
my programmer husband says mozilla
Firefox
Mozilla FireFox
they said it already
i just want the points
Firefox - fast and doesn't have activex. Activex is what lets in a lot of the nasties.
Opera's faster than Firefox, but it has activex... and it's not as customizable.
Firefox - sleek, fast, safe, easy to use, up to date, extremely customizable... and it has a cool icon.

Firefox has pop-up blocking built in, and with just one add-on you'll rarely see another banner ad!

Download a few anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, oh and a firewall.
( Avg antivirus - http://free.grisoft.com/ , Adaware anti-adware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw... , Spywareblaster antispyware - http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareb... , Zonealarm firewall - http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... )
Install the programs and scan your computer. You might want to stay offline for this - you're not protected until AFTER you do it.
After that - password protect your computer account. If you use a wireless connection see if you can get it secured (passwords and encryption)
Make sure to update your virus and spyware scanners once a week, and check for updates to your firewall... and operating system.

Opera is superior :)
I use it at work, home and on my mobile phone and these are the main reasons:
- speed (extremely quick and stable)
- light (small program)
- free (no skin off your nose)
- mouse gestures (can't live without this)
- skins (make it look pretty)
- pop-up blocker
- form auto-completion
- passes acid2 test
- works on a number of platforms
- 25 languages
- honoring the W3C web standards
- the best out of the box browser!
(other goodies: RSS reader, Bit Torrent client, Email Suite, Magic Wand can remember passwords, Widgets)
