Is there any known correlation between turning on the XP Pro Host function
for Remote Desktop and the barrage of infected emails I have been getting.
If so, is there a way to keep the RD connection available and protect
against the infected email?
 
Well, logically email has nothing to do with Remote Desktop other than if you connect to an infected
machine (host or client) then its possible the virus/worm/whatever could infect the non-infected
machine. Make sure you run anti-virus software on all of your machines and that you only allow
trusted PCs to connect to you or you connect to trusted hosts...
