Google Toolbar. Another free one, blocks most of the popups you will run into on the internet.
If it's for a younger kid and you're using windows xp, I STRONGLY recommend making a guest account for the computer. The guest account has limited privelages and they can't install or make any system wide setting changes.
A lot of people lately are pushing Firefox as a much better browser than Internet explorer, but in my opinion, for a kid using a guest account with the spybot search and destroy immunizer in use, Internet explorer will be just fine.

i would agree with all that, avg, search and destroy run everytime you reboot, firefox and maybe a firewall of some sort.
