You should have more than one line of defense. I
recommend at least 3. First install a hardware SOHO router/"firewall"
which provides some defense from outside attacks. Nowadays they are
pretty cheap (some are less than 50 bucks). Second, install a
personal software firewall on each system attached to the router.
Third, harden each system like turning off services you know you don't
need, apply patches, disable NetBIOS over TCP\IP, unbind NetBEUI/file
sharing from TCP\IP, etc.

IMHO *this* is the correct and informative answer to the pop-message
posts!!

Looks like there's nothing left to argue about. )

Good deal. IMO, if one is to pass on security information it should be
as comprehensive as reasonably possible.
