No more security is provided by having an ADSL line than a Dialup Modem. As with any product that leaves you permanently connected, to be secure you should invest in a security product (eg. a firewall).

What can I do to secure my ADSL connection?

AlphaCall Telecommunications
The first thing you need to do in securing your computer is to turn off all file and personal web sharing. This can be done in the network settings of your computer. When file sharing is on it leaves your hard disks basically open for everyone to see. The next step to take is to secure your computer with a firewall. The basic premise of a firewall is to block open ports on your computer so they cannot be used as an access point. See similar questions...
