There are several levels to computer literacy and mostly people work at the level they are comfortable at. A novice can turn on the computer, do basic internet searches and, use a word processing program. The next level up would include some maintenance (deleting temp files and clearing history, for instance), and be able to save files to a specific location on the drive. In addition to word processing, they could do data entry on a spreadsheet that has been set up. The next level is a gamut of familiarity with Microsoft Office and, possibly enough problem solving ability to carry out the directions of the help desk. This last is probably what people mean when they inquire at a job interview, so you should be specific.
