There is nothing much you can do. Just keep your firewall enabled as this filters out much of the crap from internet and gives you some level of protection from hackers. Always keep your antivirus up todate. This happens automatically when you're online as the anti-virus software will prompt you that updates are available and if you want to download it. Make sure you always do this. Same for anti-spyware software. Scan your system every week. Not sure about Mcafee but with most antivirus software you can schedule a system scan whereby it will automatically do the full system scan for you. Always download windows updates as they turn to patch problems within your system. Never open Email attachment if they have double extensions e.g software.doc.exe, or end with the following extension : .exe,.dll,.pif,.bat,.zip,.rar,.ace.
if you have any other questions I would be glad to help you.
