OP: good thread. but for the masses we need devices that can even operate on an infected PC. like the trezor hardware wallet for example:

Hi,
There are several ways by which one can keep their system up to date and can avoid attacks from hackers. It is always instructed to update your system and should stay secure because if you don't keep your system secure then there is a chance of your system getting infected. Just avoid any downloads from unwanted sites or prevent from hitting email attachments or links from unknown users.

If you use Windows for anything money related don't use a cracked version!

I would recommend EMET 3 to help protect against 0-day web browser exploits for windows users.
Download : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29851


EMET in action https://isc.sans.edu/diary/EMET+3.5%3A+The+Value+of+Looking+Through+an+Attacker's+Eyes/14797

Requires some configuration to get working correctly see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28_LUs_g0u4
 
I found that LastPass crashes with Chome unless you disable SEHOP for chrome.exe

Any recommendations for macs?

Well most of these apps, antivirus (Kaspersky,bitdefender) vm (virtualbox) etc are available for mac too.

Ps: Windows users are main target of viruses and trojans, however mac gets infected too but mac/Linux users are usually safe as there are not so many mac trojans/viruses like windows have (even kids are doing ratting with darkcomet/blackshades). So best is to keep apps updated and use av on MAC.
