[Lisa Kachold]

Security (it's a NIX after all):

1) Browser Javascript protection.  I.E. Firefox/NoScript

Apple - Downloads - Internet Utilities - Mozilla Firefox...

NoScript :: Add-ons for Firefox

2) Clamav - antivirus protection.

ClamXav
ClamXav is a free virus checker for Mac OS X. It uses the tried,
tested and very popular ClamAV open source antivirus engine as a back
end. ...

4) Configuration:

a) Setup her firewall to exclude all inbound and allow only 443,80 -
seriously.  Not kidding!

b) Setup her system to require she login, not auto login.

c) Optionally - encrypt her a Disk Image If you're hesitant about
encrypting your entire Home directory but need to safeguard a few
sensitive files, store them in an encrypted disk image instead. To
make one, launch Disk Utility (found in Applications: Utilities),
click on New Image, and then choose AES-128 from the Encryption
pull-down menu.

d) Add Tracking software =(theft is huge):
