In order to protect your computer and its information, I suggest:
1 - Always have at least 1 up to date backup!
2 - Install all Apple updates and use no older system than Yosemite!
3 - Before clicking links and downloading and installing, ask yourself whether that is really what you want, and do you trust the place where it came from. 
4 - To scan your Mac occasionally for "Malware" - free Malwarebytes for Macintosh

5 - To protect while using your Mac, scanning web, email and more - free Sophos home edition:
