Besides running up to date Anti-virus, one of the best ways to keep your computer from becoming infected (and then losing access to it while it gets re-imaged, etc.) is to keep your Operating System and applications up to date.

Microsoft Windows
Mac OS/X and iOS
Adobe Reader, Flash, Shockwave, etc.
Mozilla Firefox & Thunderbird
Google Chrome
Oracle Java
Apple Quicktime & Safari
