Any connection to the Internet carries some risk. At the very least all personal computers should have an up to date antivirus programme installed. As ADSL provides a dedicated Internet connection over private telephone lines, this reduces the risk of any data being accessed by hackers over a shared network. An ADSL router can offer additional security. For maximum security a firewall as well as other hardware and software solutions should be explored.
