6. Don't run Windows as your primary OS. 7. If you are on Windows, don't use Internet Explorer unless you absolutely have to, and *then* only with websites you absolutely trust. 8. If you *must* use IE, run it with the most restrictive settings you can get away with.
There are a *lot* of attacks out there that target the Windows/IE combination. Running a different OS and/or a different browser if you can helps thwart a lot of attacks. It doesn't render you completely secure; nothing will do that short of unplugging the network cable from the back of your computer. But it does go a long way.
