Hello! I have set up Windows Firewall. I use Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2 operating system. I, also, use dial-up internet connection. Well, I have discovered that anyone can access to my computer from internet! I am afraid that somebody can used my information and infect my system. What to do?

Hello! That it is known issue. You need to download and install from Microsoft site critical update for Windows XP. That it is happening because you allowed file and printer sharing and dial-up software done some mass in Windows Firewall after that, so, your firewall treats whole internet as subnet. You can find needed update on the following address: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyIdDA66A0AC-55CA-4591-B3E6-D78695899141&displaylangen&displaylangen.
