This is very good advice, Diane.
I would add, regarding passwords, that there is another thing you can and should do for passwords that are not allowed to be filled in automatically by Windows or Roboform, especially banking passwords and Paypal.
I create a file in notepad and put both my username and password for those accounts in there.
Then, I copy and paste them into the log in forms. This way, if key logger spyware or similar gets on your computer, they can't steal this information.
Just make sure, if you ever sell or give away your computer, to either do a military wipe of your hard drive or remove it and manually destroy it before discarding it.
