like trying to browse the "Network Neighborhood", so not all of these are
really attempts to hack you. Esp. if you're on ADSL or cable modems, there

concerned about.

enable file or print sharing. After that, attachments are your biggest
threat. If you're running Windows NT or Windows 2000, then things get more
