If you have a Windows XP Service Pack 2 System then have your Firewall turned on to prevent any intruder from accessing your systems resources or services from Internet. Additionally you can also download the windows defender to protect your system from malware.
This also significantly reduces the entry of worms affecting your home network and systems.
Keep your systems updated with latest patches using the online Microsoft updates.
If you have a router that connects you to Internet then enable Firewall on the router, which builds another layer of security for your home network.
Have your wireless home network protected by using WPA instead of WEP which can be broken very easily. As an additional layer of security also enable the MAC address filtering on your Wireless router.
