If you're running Windows XP, make sure you have SP3 on board. That kills a surprising amount of ways in to your computer. Surf from behind a router, even if you only have one computer.
The biggest danger to individuals isn't that their computer is spewing spam or DDoSing websites - as it says towards the bottom of the article, the best parts are your personal details and bank details that may be on your computer. That's why zombie PCs fetch a good price on the black market (and I remember another story where all PCs shipped to various african nations for cheap recycling or even reuse in charity drives get their hard drives pulled and sold on the black market for more scammage and plundering).
Who'd want to work with computers?
