      It is best to take the approach to block access from all machines from
the internet. Sounds like you have file and print sharing enabled on your
network adapter connected to the internet. Go to http://scan.sygatetech.com/
and do a quick scan to test for basic network vulnerability from untrusted
networks. There are many excellent free firewalls available for personal use
if you do not want to put a device at the perimiter [even a low cost
e]. --- Steve
