@betty If you don't want to worry about private keys and such download the bitcoin qt. It takes a long time to update the blockchain before you can use it. But, you can encrypt your wallet and have peace of mind that it won't be hacked.
Absolutly not true, the -qt client is one of the most targeted software nowadays when regarding to btc in malwares... keeping your wallet.dat encrypted but typing your (weak) encryption key is useless...

Basicaly to have a secure thin client you actualy need a hardware, like a new notebook what you use only for transfering/signing transactions with your private keys.
