I'm sorry, what?
Leaving your computer running without performing a run of Windows Update begs for Bad Things more than running the updater does. Proper security measures (a good firewall, beit hardware or software) and not being an idiot about where you access will keep you reasonably safe from most things.
As far as browsers go, they're all perfectly usable. IE can be great if you do what was mentioned above--that is, employ Safe Browsing and take five minutes to configure it (and know what you're doing). With Opera 9 implementing a measure of ad blocking capability, I find it to be the most usable browser in my case (Linux). Combined with the `adzapper` script in squid, I haven't seen anything beyond AdSense and its brethren lately, which are wholly acceptable.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
