I practice "belt and suspenders" protection.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

for a home PC (and i include MACs in here as well) you should have a hardware firewall (you can get that with any brand name Cable/DSL router these days).

block ALL and ANY incoming ports.

there's no need for a single port to be open unless you're running your own webserver or email server, in which case it wouldn't be a home pc anymore ....
