Hi,

I use ZoneAlarm form http://www.zonelabs.com/ to block unauthorised connections to my PC Ports. A free download version is available to non-commercial users.

PCs will be more vulnerable, and attractive to the attackers, if connected through the high speed DSL or cable modem links.

So this precaution, in addition to antivirus protection, is important.
