8. Back in the Network window, scroll through the list of network
components. If "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is on
the list, we strongly recommend removing it before using a DSL or
cable modem connection. Using File and Printer Sharing makes it
easier for other people on the Internet to access files on your
computer without your knowledge or consent, with potentially
harmful results. Check with your service provider for their own specific
security recommendations.
