My initial setup of there computer goes something like this:
I set up windows to have updates automatically downloaded and installed
I use Avast Anti-virus that will automatically update if it finds a connection (once a year I have to get a new registration code)
I use Open DNS, and set in on the router so that all PC's have protection
Then I use something like PC Decrapifier to remove the junk that company's install on PC's
Then I install the apps they need (aol, open office, paint.net, gimp, Picassa, ext)
after that I warn them about not installing apps on there PC. (they do anyway)
I know that everyone has there own way of organizing things (if they want everything on there desktop, whatever) so long as they keep all of there files in the normal folders (so when I have to do an update or a reinstall, or a backup of there data, everything is in a easy location)
Its amazing the cultural differences between the "Tech Generation" and its parents. The parents want the ability to do everything the people who already learned the tech to do, but are not willing to invest the time or effort that the younger already put into it. You don't expect to walk into a car and just drive it, if you've never learned. The same holds true with the PC. It comes from experience.
I wish that KDE's website would supply us with 3.3's screenshot. I would LOVE to see the screenshots to see if there is enough change on there GUI for me to update.

Same. I had a secure log in, then Tuesday I got hacked. Did all the measures Google recommends plus a few more, then got hacked again Sunday.
