The short list?

 

Don't use file sharing.

 

Don't run 9x.

 

Make sure all accounts you use have unique passwords.

 

Disable all accounts you are not using.

 

Don't run attachments or open compressed files unless you know the contents.

 

Turn off file-sharing. If you need file sharing, attach it to a non-routing protocol.

 

Make sure you are not running services which serve content (like IIS).

 

Always keep an up-to-date antivirus.

 

Those are the basics. Plopping yourself behind a NAT firewall and using a local IP is good too. More extreme measures are also available.The short list?
