1. Zombies investigate sound and movement. They can tell you are human merely from sight and intuition, and therefore standing still or trying to act like an undead will not work. Noises just alert them to an area, so try to stay out of sight. If you are seen, they will be much more tenacious.
2. If you don't want to confront them, your best bet is to run. The undead are extremely slow, and almost any human can easily outmaneuver them. They have been known to occasionally get (excited) and lunge at humans that are within a few feet of them, so try to keep your distance.
3. The greatest strength of the dead is numbers. They tend to group up when attracted to sound, as loud sounds will bring most zombies in the area to a single point. They will also make noise when they spot humans, drawing more to the area. Either kill individuals with melee weapons to keep the noise down or keep your distance. Be careful not to run straight into a waiting mob.
4. If you absolutely must fire guns or take on a mob, make sure you don't do it in any spot that can easily get you cornered or surrounded. When friends get surrounded, try to clear a path for them through the mob or they will quickly be overwhelmed by the undead.
