I have just installed a cable modem from the @home network to a single
machine running NT 4.0 SP3.  It provides REALLY GREAT performance, but I
cannot get any support from @home about security.

I only plan to run Netscape, and read mail and news groups.  What can I do
to protect data on this machine from security risks?
