Vista should have better security. However, your old hardware in the computer may not support Vista if you decide to upgrade. I am using XP SP2 and it's ok. As long as you have a good anti-virus sw installed and run anti-spy like yahoo anti-spy (once a week) to clean up your tracking cookies, your computer should be ok. Also, enable XP firewall is always better to protect your computer.
Vista is still unstable and has compatibility problems especially with peripherals. Improving security is not a good reason to move to Vista. There are plenty of free virus and adware eliminating programs available. I recommend AVG anti virus and Zone Alarm (google them). Win Patrol is excellent for more advanced users. If you use Zone Alarm and AVG you will need to turn off Windows firewall, which is pretty much useless anyway.
Get yourself At least Norton's antivirus software 2007, then turn on your windows firewall if it isn't on! You can do so by going into your computers control panel!
