How do I incorporate nighlty builds

Not only software, any kind of file. Remember the numerous buffer overflow attacks to various image formats in the past, and remember that many filetypes can actually contain executable code although you would never suspect that (mpeg videos, pdf files, wmf files, ...).
Also, you should always scan after decompressing (or scan twice if you are really paranoid), as you cannot rely that realtime protection really looks into each and every archive file. 7zip is a good example of a file type which is not transparently handled by all scanners.
Of course, even if you are really paranoid about scanning every file, this does not grant you 100% security. But at least, it blocks the most stupid and the most casual attacks.

Yes, right. Buffer overflow is a good example. Jpeg too. Normally, I always scan for files, software, etc. downloaded to suspect websites. Anyway, this security measure should also be apllied to more "trustful" websites.
I am not paranoid, but usually, I do scheduled scans and quite each evening a scan with Ad-Aware SE Personal.
Sometimes just a scanning it is not enough (independent on how good is your antivirus). One time I have had a virus in my computer (one of those Java viruses) located in my profile. The infected profile was saved into a linux server (at my work, each time I switch off, restart my computer its profile is stored into a server). Later, I have discovered and deleted the virus, but as sometimes I cannot store my profile (the reason I do not know), each time I re-started my computer I got the virus again. And this until I could save a clean profile.
Best wishes,
Michael
newbie:
Thanks for getting back to me. I am still a little confused with your response:
"1. Download CB_2006xxxx_revxxx_win32.7z, mingwm10.7z, and wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.7z"
I know where the wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.7z is. However, I have no idea what you are referring to with the other two files. I've been searching
Are these things that were included in code::blocks itself? Or do I get them from somewhere else. Please let me know. And thanks for the earlier response.

Same place, the Nightly Builds posts.
