'Nother vote for Netscape (ver 7.2 just out) and/or Mozilla (I use 
both).  First class spam filter which learns as it goes, 100% popup 
killer, tabbed browsing etc.  All the stuff that Mr. Bill is gonna add 
to IE and Outlook (real soon now) that NS & Mozilla have had for years.

For security all of the following are (a) great and (b) FREE:

AVG anti-virus:  http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_avg_index.php
WinPatrol:  http://www.winpatrol.com/
AdAware:  http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot Search and Destroy:  http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Spyware Blaster:  http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

The free versions of WinPatrol and AdAware are so good I even sprung for 
the upgraded pay versions for the extra bells and whistles. Good stuff 
at the right price...sorta like Br'er Jim's stuff and almost as hot.

All the usual disclaimers.
