Win XP has a build in firewall. Turn it on. Or get either a hardware firewall (E.g. Broadband router) or a software firewall like Zone Alarm or Norton Firewall.

The only other way to protect your machine is to disconnect it from any kind of a network.

Christoph

PS: I personally use a hardware firewall and are very satisfied.
