Put A Firewall Appliance (Such as A Netopia Router) Between Your Connection And Your Computer

If you are using Windows xp service pack 2, just turn on the windows firewall for that connection and do not share any of your drives, they can never get in to your system. If you have got any local server running on your system, dont store important information on the root folder of the server.

Cheers!

you mean... your getting broadband...
you are always connected so the chance of someone getting into your computer are increased...
so what can protect it???
if so... download zone alarm security suite from
http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm-Intern...

the best in my opinion...

well, as far as getting into your system and all that, I would buy a good firewall and password protect my stuff, especially if I wasnt sure if the wireless internet was unsecure.

Ok,,,,I'm having a hard time even believing what you are saying,,,,you are just adding more fuel to the fire....
