Common Windows security problem

Bad news is, many Microsoft Window users are not aware of common security leaks in their network settings. The common setup for Microsoft Windows’ network computers is: Client for Microsoft Networks, NetBEUI Protocol, File&Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, and Internet Protocol TCP/IP. But if your setup allows NetBIOS over TCP/IP, you can have a security problem because this means that your files can be shared all over the web world; and that your log-on name, computer name and workgroup name will be visible for public viewing. Also, if your setup allows File and Printer Sharing over TCP/IP, this also means that your files can be shared all over the net. And it doesn’t mean that you’re safe if your computer is not connected to any network. It can also have dangerous settings because your network settings were changed during the time when internet was installed.
