JC,
Yes, this is true and there are some good intrusion detection system. You can also (and this would be advised) built-in and turn on
a firewall (not only MS ICF but there are some good firewalls available for XP/XPe), close most network ports as much as possible,
etc.
Although, I believe, the best standalone protection system would be "your own" (non public) implementation. E.g., replacing TCP/IP
stack, having some encryptions in your custom protocol implementations, etc.
But hackers' minds are not stuck. Any system could be broken (intentionally, or with a virus). So, only consistent system monitoring
is and keeping up-to-date is a "absolute" choice (if there is such).
Anyway.. I am not a security expert so I don't talk about the Windows security here :-)
