Beyond this being an oxymoron...
Every so often I drop over to http://www.grc.com and run his "Shields Up!"
system.
It checks your computer for open ports and the like.
Drop there to see how open your computer/network is.
Also great for Linux machines, just to see how good you really are at
"batting down the hatches"!
