Since the internet is a source of malicious content everyone should know how to ensure their safety.
It doesn't matter which OS you use.

First of all get yourself a, preferably paid, Antivirus software, such as Norton or McAffee.
Another very important thing is to always have an updated system running. If there is a new update available, instantly download it, they updated for a reason.

Now that is all said, we will set a browser through which we use the internet. We will combine privacy and safety, and to ensure your privacy you must avoid a U.S. search engine such as Google, Duckduckgo and Chrome. Instead consider using startpagina, hosted in the Netherlands.
Another thing we can do to ensure our privacy is using VPN's and Proxy's. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. Best is to use both AND do research on your VPN.
If you have to option to go on a free public wifi hotspot, preferably don't. 4G is way safer. If you really want to use the public wifi, at least use a VPN.
Also check if you can add plugins to your browser, if you can you at least should use the following plugins:
1. Noscript. Noscript blocks scripts on webpages, so you can decide whether you still run it or not. Also it tells you why it is blocked, for example if its a possible clickjacking attack.
2. Selfdestructive cookies. This plugin gets rid of a site's cookies after you close the site.
3. Https everywhere. So you always have your data nicely encrypted.
4. FoxyProxy. This plugin makes it easier to configure your proxy's. 
5. Ghostery. This plugin adds up to your privacy.
There are still a lot of other great and usefull plugins, you should see if there are anymore to your liking to add.
If you go on the internet, using the Tor-server might also be a good idea. Mind yourself, Tor isn't safe on itself. Before you use it do some research on it.
Another thing you can do to improve your security is using a Virtual Machine, if it gets infected you can just delete it [Image: wink.png]
Last but not least, be aware of the threads. If you know how you can be exploited, you also know how to avoid having your system pwnd.

If I missed anything or made some kind of mistake just tell me, im not perfect...
