Answer
A firewall will protect you from most of those nasty threats on the internet. Windows XP has a firewall built into the operating system, and can be turned on or off at anytime. To do this, follow these steps:
1. First, click that Start button and go to the control panel. Once in the control panel, double click Network connections. Once your Network Connections box is open, right click on Local Area Connection and then click Properties.
2. When the Local Area Connections box pops up, click the advanced tab. Under this tab, you will see a check box asking you if you want to enable the internet connection firewall. Check the box and then click OK. After that, your firewall will be turned on and you will be protected.
