Install security software such as a firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc..
Disconnect it from the Internet till you have the OS loaded, the security patches, and antivirus, spyware and firewall programs loaded. To do this you must go to Microsoft and download the security patches as an IT professional for multicomputer installations. Hopefully you have another computer that works as this takes a while. Good luck.
After you've installed windows, go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and update everything. Microsoft will/can have a lot of bugs and openings fixed that can help keep you secure. Do this regularly (check every month or so).

Then i would recommend installing an anti-virus program, preferably AVG. Norton/Macafee seriously slow things down and can keep you from being able to access the internet at all.

Then you need to install anti-spyware and set it to auto-run once a week, or run it manually *AT LEAST* once a week. And i would recommend using more than one. Try using AdAware and AVG anti-spyware, or SpyBot. Some will catch what others won't.
