"At the moment there is nothing I can tell my mother that 'this is what you can do to be safe".

Oh no, there is. Tell her to get a Mac, and she will be safe. Let me say to the MSFT trolls that will undoubtedly show up here any minute: If you don't believe me, you've obviously never used a Mac.

but lots of people don't want to use a Mac. Think about it; Vista has almost 2x the number of users in a year then Apple has been able to scrape up in 20+.
People would rather take some risk then give up so much and get a Mac. Funny.

Mac are not likely more secure than Vista. Macs don't have as many threats, because there aren't many Macs out there and are not worth the effort.
