I cannot directly answer this question. However when I run windows (my girlfriend too), we use kmeleon (fast and lightweight) the last 3 years without any malware problem. Her brother use IE7 and trashed his laptop (I was unable to persuade him that Linux is better for inexperienced users). With FF I have experienced some glitches 3 months ago but I think it has to do with windows itself. On linux FF never gave any problem and similarly Seamonkey.
