I have a suspicious nature which has proved to be as good as 100% security. 
From my
first IBM PC with its 16KB system board to this day I have never had a virus, 
spyware,
or malware of any kind on any machine I have ever owned. In fact, the only time 
I ever
used a computer that became infected was while I was working at Microsoft in 
the 90s as
a technical writer. An early build of Windows NT became infected with a virus 
twice via
one of the corporate servers. Curiously, some of the servers weren't 
particularly well
protected.

On Windows XP Prof. I use Counterspy anti-spyware and Kaspersky Internet 
Security.
Kaspersky goes well beyond just signature checking with strong heuristics and 
proactive
defense. I reject attachments in email and am cautious about what little I 
might choose
to click on. That's as close to 100% as anyone is ever going to get.
