Get a NAT router and use Sygate behind it. Or go to IPsec that's on the
XP O/S to stop inbound and outbound connections by port, protocol, IP
etc. etc to supplemnt Sygate or a NAT router in that area.

Go to the O/S and configure it properly, because the protection starts
there.

I use IE, Outook and OE and I am not being *hacked* to detah or
compromised. Configure the software properly. It's out there on Google.
