As to your second question. There are several options available to you
depending on your level of paranoia:
1. Run a personal firewall (assuming you can find one that doesn't have
a trojan that talks back to the manufacturer:cough: zone alarm
:cough:).
2. Monitor and review all traffic that flows from your ethernet card
using Ethereal, TCPDump or some other program.
3. Use an on-screen keyboard.
