There are two solutions: Firstly configure your Network Properties with settings that break completely the links between TCP/IP and local networks and File and Print Sharing - this needs a good understanding of configuring Windows systems. This is a reasonably safe solution if you do not have a Local Network and do not have Network Adaptor cards installed and you periodically check that nothing has changed. If you do have a local Network with File and Printer sharing enabled you should have a another line of defence by using unbreakable passwords on File Sharing i.e. alpha numerics which can not be broken by a dictionary based attack. The second solution is to install a Firewall, again this may not be simple to configure but should be taken seriously if you have a Local Network sharing files. It is a must if family/staff economise on passwords on a Networked machine. Regardless of the solution you adopt you should also consider having all your sensitive and important information encrypted using PGP or similar. This also covers you against theft or local investigation of your business or personal data.
