Occasionally when I close down my PC I am told that another user is logged on
a closing down will cause them to lose work. This happens when no-one else
is logged into their profile.

What couold eb causing this?

Disable File and Print Shares.

If you are on Broadband, use a Cable/DSL Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41. This will
provide a Simplistic FireWall and protect you from nefarious activity.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm already behind a Firewall (ZA Pro) and a
router so I think I'm OK there. I've done checks for Spyware etc with
Adaware, Spybot and I have Spyware Blaster running in the background and ahve
foudn nothing. I'm about to do a virus scan with AVG to double check that my
NAV 2005 hasn't let anything through.

Any other suggestions?

OK, you have a Broadband Router -- That's excellent !

How many nodes do you have on the LAN side of the Router ?

As always, I suggest blocking TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on *any* SOHO Router.
