If you are using IE7 and XP with both fully patched/updated, and have a name brand 
AV product installed and updated, and at least the Windows firewall running, and 
are operating with a non-admin account (as you mentioned that you finally are), then 
you are as safe as you can be on an XP system.

To get any safer you are going to have to move to Vista, or take IE8 B2 for a test 
drive.
