Hi,

Install and run antivirus, antispam, etc... on your server. There are quite
a few options (like Back Orifice, VNC, ...).

Get used to using firewall (one kind or another). It's a must!... :-\ I
know it's annoying but so is locking your car and apartment (and I am pretty
sure you lock your car and apartment).
