Windoze XP Viruses, again

Hi all I normally use my mac for all things computing.

Recently I had to sort out my dad's PC 'cos it was running slow. After using Symantec virus search, Spybot and Adaware to find viruses etc, I removed them all. (This was about 6 months ago.) Since then every month it keeps getting infected with 4-5 a month.

Yes it has a firewall and is kept up to date, as is the antivirus and the automatic updates - so why does it keep getting infected? Is this normal?

If so i'm going to stick to Apple!!

cheers for any pointers, Shaft.
