If you want your life to be secure, buy lots of guns and live in a cave.

If you want your internet existence to be totally secure:
a) *Never* conduct financial transactions on-line,
b) never give out any personally identifiable information,
c) never discuss anything the least bit controversial,
d) never use a SIP phone[0],
e) Skype seems secure, but the Germans[1] might have cracked
   it and be blowing smoke in order to get Bad Guys to use
   encrypted Skype,
f) use the w3m browser,
g) use Mutt or Alpine,
h) never send cleartext email,
i) only email a select group of friends & always use GPG,
j) never use IM, bittorrent, ftp, etc,
k) install minimal OpenBSD on your desktop,
l) run really-minimal OpenBSD on your tight firewall.

[0] There are all sorts of SIP vulnerabilities.
