Okay.... Any suggestions for Home Users??

I conceed I'm, no expert! I do try to keep up with the news and trends. I keep my anti-virus software up-to-date, I run a firewall on my router, I run Zonealarm (apologies to non-fans, but as I said, I'm no expert!), I check REGULARLY for spyware and try to keep the definitions current, I use AdWatch to TRY to catch "nasties" as they come in the door, I use popup blockers, and I stop unknown email addresses from downloading at the server level. I've even set up a non-administrator account that I use for most of my day-to-day stuff. But still I get "nasties." So, I'm going to bite the bullet and ask the "dumb question":

How can I test my computer to see if it is a Zombie? And do you have any other suggestions???
