I would start out with the antivirus (I'm using Avast! on Vista but if you
prefer AVG and it works, stick with it) and the built-in Windows Defender
and the built-in Windows Firewall.
At this point because Vista is so new, we aren't seeing much about malware
attacking it in the wild. I would imagine that practicing "Safe Hex" will
still be important in any case:
