Hi,
As user of Linux without much experience, my advices:
1.- Don't use root privilegies.
2.- Use open software, if able.
3.- Use software repositories of your distribution, if any.
It would be fine to learn 'iptables' (a firewall) and scan web traffic and running processes once in a while.
And use of common sense when browsing the web, not neccesary much more for a normal user. It would be different if you have to protect any big company servers.
Regards,
Birei.
