For ANYONE that has internet should seriously consider a SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) Hardware Firewall for their internet connection.

$198/hr.... damn!!! Time to do some more free lance IT work again.

XP's sp2 fw is well... I guess better then nothing. Personally, I'd dump it. M$ has left some *nice* backdoors for itself...

Steps I'd do

1. XP = swiss cheese software - Peform an OS lockdown

2. Get Sygate Personal Firewall (its free...), adaware, spybot, ad-watch, and zone alarm. Install and config appropriately.

3. Upgrade your external firewall/router so that it does support statefull packet inspection and dont forget to set those firewall rules.
