Good advice to be wary, Shaun. I've recently suffered some problems with
my machine being used to send spam via open ports (now fixed). A good
firewall is a reasonable start. Disabling server-type apps is the next
step....
Now, if you don't mind, I must pray to Anaterasu-omi Kami....

crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures
to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."
