Internet advertisers want to bombard you with pop-up ads. Hackers might need to "borrow" your computer to mount an attack on another server. Or they might be "phishing" for credit card numbers. Or not.

Get thee behind a firewall. Windows XP SP2 enables a firewall by default. Zone Alarm (www.zonealarm.com) is free. Hardware routers with built-in firewalls cost less than $100. There is no excuse for not protecting your information (and that of your clients) with a firewall.
