your pc may be 'fine' but as i said in another thread, what happens if you are the only 'clean' machine on a UBR? When the less knowledgeable users get home from work / school / whatever and turn their virus ridden PCs on - what are they going to do... spam

Granted, this is not the root cause of all of the problems, but I bet it is a large chunk of it. While I don't like ISPs that block certain ports, it is a good way to limit the effect of viruses etc (blocking in / outbound windows 'file sharing', and outbound smtp are a good start - if the smtp one is a little annoying)
