What is a good application for graphics design?

I have a windows 7 PC. I am starting to do flyers and graphics for websites and Facebook, banners, etc. Right now I am using MS Publisher 2010. What is the preferred application for doing this kind of work? Adobe Illustrator?

thank you! great options and explanations. And yes I am a beginner so padas your advice hits closer to home.
Good luck in your endeavor.  Start by understanding the requirements for print and web graphics.   With print, there is also a difference between how you set up your files for sending to your inkjet printer vs what is required for sending to a professional printer.   Before you start creating your first flyer, check with the printer that you use if they have special requirements such as fonts, bleeds, sizes.
