The important things are that she not install programs that promise to  
enable viewing otherwise inaccessible porn sites and that she stay  
away from programs that promise to update he commercial software  
unless they are from the original vendor. If she really want's to be  
paranoid, VirusBarrier X5 from Intego software is the best commercial  
solution and ClamXav is the best freeware.

Best security advice for Mac Users: Don't check any of the boxes in  
System Preferences->Sharing until you know what you are doing.
