Firewall at all ????

Yes you should have one as well as spyware programs and trojan scanners.
Without them you are basically wide open to the whole world.

The workstations should also have Anti-Virus installed, one that updates
itself regularly and also scans incoming and outgoing email.

I suggest you do a google on IT security on Win2K server and really bone up,
before the whole lot goes down.
