Perhaps when a hardware wallet and other security measures become standardized ?

I'm sold on the idea, i see bitcoin as a nice compliment to gold/silver. But what's a computer-retard like myself (not afraid to admit it) to do until then.

Are there any services out there that advise or better yet can safely set up an account for you for a fee ?

Im terrified of investing any large amounts, only to get flushed cuz of not knowing how to properly back up stuff or getting hacked.
