Before you hook your computer to the Internet 

I've written about this before, but just ran into some really detailed instructions that explain what buttons to push and so on. http://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/before_you_plug_in.html gives accurate advice and I think it's readable by normal people.

The Computer Emergency Response Team offers some other bits of advice for non-technical users. They're not all equally good. I like their advice about how to avoid phishing, their password advice is not bad, their "Understanding Firewalls" article packs good information into a quick read, but I'm not sure what else I'd recommend.
