Mike,

It's not the Microsoft site. While you are connected, your machine is wide open. There are some steps you can take. First, you really should look into a hardware firewall. A firewall is included in most home routers, so if you plan on having a second computer in your house, kill two birds with one stone.

If you don't get a hardware firewall, you need to turn off some of the vulnerabilities before you get online.
