How to ensure maximum security while Online? Is using a Antivirus, which comes Internet Security, enough? What are the measures that can be taken to ensure maximum security?

Thank you.

Most antivirus are good enough if you don't disable them.
Common sense is the most secure way.

There are many ways to use common sense including downloading applications from the real site: When a website says that you need to download a newer version of Flash Player, for instance, don't click on their link to download the software, open up a new browser Window or Tab and go to www.adobe.com to download it. if you don't, you might end up downloading and installing a virus instead of the software that the website claims that you need.
