I am highly suspicious of "Ad-aware se personal", mostly because it is made by LAVASOFT who used to make spyware. Recently one of our computers was high jacked while running this software, which did NOHTING to stop or spot the problem.
1) Disable the windows scripting agent.
2) Uninstall Java, you don’t really need it.
3) Use Firefox with the No-Script Extension:

5) Email is for business, and any attachment should be a file type you recognize. Don’t be afraid to call the person who sent it to ask what it is.
6) Check your task manager and google any process you don’t recognize.
7) Check your start up menu under msconfig and google any process you don’t recognize.
