No such thing as *best*. None of them are 100% efficient. Prevention
is better than cure.
So ...
Stop using IE & OE.

I'll second replacing IE but Outlook Express can be made as safe as anything
else by adjusting a few setting. Such as:

Disable the preview pane.
Disable html rendering in messages.

cmsix

Keep away from wank sites.
Use an updated Hosts file.
Stop AciveX & scripting.
etc etc
