Don't:

Open attachments you are not expecting

Click on links in emails you are not expecting

Provide your username or password or any other account information via
email

Download a file that ends in .exe

Use Internet Explorer

Ignore update notifications from your OS, browser, and third parties
like Adobe

Use old browser versions
</Quote>

Of course, .exe files wouldn't hurt me anyway, since I run Linux.

There is also a political reason not to use IE:

* Microsoft supports CISPA (unwarranted surveillance)
* Mozilla opposes CISPA
